I'm trying to understand what he got that changed his mind. It's the slight bump in annual salary? Because a voidable third year doesn't seem to really do much for him...
It could be the slight bump in AAV, just because that's nothing more than bragging rights for players and agents.
But, it could be the "assurance" of an extra year, albeit, not guaranteed.
If he plays well this season and next season, it opens up the door to have the final season (2029) become fully guaranteed (with a possible extension).
$110M in new guaranteed money.
So, again, essentially the same thing he was offered last month.
I agree, the extra year, even though not guaranteed, creates a structure for the assurance he was looking for…but it shows the respect and acknowledgement, in writing.I'm trying to understand what he got that changed his mind.

great ending to an over-dramatic negotiation. Now Baker will put that determination to work to prove he’s worth it.
We’re here for it!
Yep. Been a done deal for a week now, they just wanted to unleash the cork game week.
I'm not sure I follow. Why would they delay a done deal?
There’s a lot of juice with this news. Top 10 QB is staying in Tampa. Everyone is stoked about it!
Done in theory last week.

Baker was vocal about that extra year so he has more choice. Players like to have choices.
