[QUOTE="Croak, post: 360793, member: 2367"] There is another way to look at it from the cap perspective which another one of our regular posters pointed out to me months ago. Jenkins wanted a long term contract. As one of the articles posted above noted, the new cap will make short term contracts more affordable for teams - "Another change I think we'll see is that teams will sign free agents to shorter contract lengths. Instead of the 7-year deals that are horribly back-loaded, I think we'll see much more two or three-year contracts. Since teams will hand out fewer and lower signing bonuses, they will not have to keep players on the roster for long periods to amortize the prorated parts of the signing bonuses." I forget whether it was IVO or RS who pointed this out months ago. [/QUOTE]
