Outahere has a calculator for contract value. It makes a lot of sense that a player would take a, say, $7M/2 Yr deal over a $5M/3 Yr deal. He'd only have to make $1M in that "third year" to equal the value of the second contract and I think it's safe to say a player getting those kind of offers would surely get $1M for that "third year".
