While ok, he might not be Clark at his prime, if he’s anywhere close and you can shave $20Mil in Cap it goes a long ways to retaining Parsons.That and maybe you promote a guy like Hopper over Walker for that Mid tier savings. $10-12Mil yearly.Then use those voids to push $$ out past their contract. $15-20Mil in 4,5 years will feel like $10-13Mil todays $$. because all the compounding Cap growth. Plus you can often spread it out. I’m not saying it you don’t feel it at all you might make a pair of mid tier player concessions, but to get a generational Player who dominates like what we’ve seen? it’s doable with minimal risk.Also instead of paying a guy $10-15Mil annual, you can often find some plug and play FA veterans for not much over vet minimum. You’d also be surprised how winning a SB attracts players. You go from Siberia to a Top 5 destination with hotel accommodation.I’ve lived in peanuts before. It’s hard to believe I did it but you tend to get real frugal and find the deal.</blockquote>
