That would imply that his agent may not have fully explained the situation.I think the issue is that when Jones initially signed his extension, it really wasn't meant to last this long. It was "two years then we'll see". Two years came - that was last year - and they wanted him for another year, but they had to figure out how to make an intentionally backloaded contract palatable. To be clear, years 3-4 on that deal were never meant to be played out as is. They were dummy years meant to inflate the overall value, but of course to the player it looks like a big pay cut.
