As I indicated yesterday, the tide seems to be shifting.

This also came up on the Lowe-Post.  Both McMahon and Lowe thought Wood should take the two years if offered.  Seems a middle ground might be TO third year with a partial guarantee.  That is a common way of raising the AAV of the guaranteed years of the contract if the team decides to move on early.

I think it is probably wise to be thinking about Plan Powder 25 when looking at things like this (and other non-star deals).  I'm not nearly as worried about Luka leaving as some here.  You can write it in pen...he will opt out of his PO and take a $300mm Super Max extension starting in 26/27.  The time to start worrying about Luka leaving is after that.
