So, to see if I'm understanding these numbers correctly. Assume I have a 3rd year SP that I want to extend for 4 years. I'd have to pay 5.11 M per year per the above chart, yes? If it was a 5th year SP I could extend for 5 years at 6.45M per, yes? And in both of those examples their current card salary is irrelevant, the extension AAV's are fixed by the chart, yes?
If you look back on page 1 I've listed the 2 things that were left out of Phil's examples.
1) 5 yr. players can be extended as long as you want but with a minimum of 5 years. 3and 4 yr. players can be extended for 4 years no more no less.
2) 5 year players are extended at the applicable league average or their 2019 SOMO price, whichever is higher, so their current card salaries are relevant for those ones. So you have the right cost in the 2 examples you give unless their 2019 card prices were greater than the averages.
