niukore got finucane money
Finucane reportedly 750k, 750k, 750k, 300k which at season start is he is 30, 31, 32, 33
Niukore on 625 for 4 years where at season start he is 25, 26, 27, 28
I'd still call it a bit of an overspend on where he is at but he could definitely develop into it.
Depending on how you see Dale's contract as 'front loaded' or 'fair that he is on less for the last year' determines on whether they are really on comparable coin or not.
Obviously total very comparable but breakdown looks like they are expecting 4 strong years and we are expecting a very good start then probably a decline (and paying accordingly).
Could be elements of cap juggling also, might be valuing Dale more like 700k each of first three years, then 550k but front loading him a little to give us space to find his replacement while he is still with us rather than be desperate the next year.
