Looks like $6mil, $6mil, $4mil, $4mil, $2mil, $2mil

a 25 year old isnt going to going to sign a 5 year front loaded contract that sees him make $2m when hes 30. he could potentially be a $7m player by then.
front loaded contracts generally go to players who will be on the downside of their careers when the contract is in its final years, enabling a buy out or retirement.
