 Focus your mind for a second and think about what an NFL players goal is for a new contract. 

-Fully guaranteed money 
- Long term security 
- Structure to protect him through injury or ailment
- Money up front 

We didn't get any of those details in the rumoured offer, none. We have no idea how long the deal was structured , no idea how much cash up front, no idea what the offsets , no idea what options were on there.  All of these are critically important. 

"it doesn't matter what the terms are" thank god you aren't any players agent lol

It doesn't matter, 2+19 < 19+19. He is already a Jag for the next 2 seasons with $0 guaranteed money.

The rest of the deal isn't real, it won't be paid. Either math is hard for you or you are focusing solely on the deal in a vacuum.

It does matter. If Frank Clark is getting say 4 years with 60 guaranteed and 35 of that on signing, well then it sets the market for what Yannicks deal does be..

You saying things don't matter doesn't make it so. All of what I mentioned matters in contracts negotiations. Yannick will be looking for all of the above in contract negotiations. 

You can keep taking about this mythical deal that you have somehow determined is the fairest possible offer Yannick should have taken but it's not based in reality.
