Yes. He still has two more years to play out on his rookie contract (2025 and 2026 season) then the new contract kicks in (2027, 2028, and 2029) . If you wait until after next year to sign him through 2029, it will cost more.
If he were to get paid AFTER Sauce and Christian Gonzalez in two years, we’d be looking at $35M per year.
Watching the press conference I really believe Sting just put his trust in his dad and agent to make a deal and he’d sign whatever they told him to. He really only cares about playing the game, love that.
When a guy is a stud and you know in a year or two, you're going to have to break the bank for him... yes, you are saving. Look at that Nico extension compared to what we would have to pay for him now, or next season. But yes, with average players, no, you don't save anything. You only do with stud players, and unfortunately QBs.
