I think the biggest difference you’ll see is just how much harder and more aggressive this years team will play compared to last . This a combination of how DJ expects them to play, the type of players coming in, and the soft guys being shown the door.
If I was paying a player $100k, it would be spread out over equal monthly payments for the season. If he bolts the payments stop. Or I would do the payments on a per game played basis. Say $2k per game. Payments made at the end of each month based on number of games played previous month. Something like that to protect myself.
