So $800K for 3 years and $750K for three years comes out to $4.65 mil cap hit. I could be wrong, but I believe that is how it works.

The way I read that, we paid him $2.8M last year, we're going to pay $4.55M for this year, and we owe him $11M total. $11M minus $7.35M leaves a balance owed of $3.65M. Which would of course have to go against the 2013 cap.

So maybe we're both wrong and we still owe him $3.65M.

Either way, it's still a lot better than the $7.05M he was going to put against our cap in 2013. That still saves us $3.4M in cap room over what we would have had.

That's how you have to look at it.
