Lazard's deal with the Jets like I shared when he signed it is a good example.He got a 4 year $44M deal so $11M a year. BUT......his hit in year one was only $3.264M due to his base salary being $1.08M and his signing bonus proration being the balance. Second year base jumps to $10M plus the proration and his hit was $12.184....BUT after the first two years and almost $16M of his $22M guaranteed paid out....there's a $6.5M savings if they cut him now or trade him.</blockquote>
