Shutup money
Say you make 100K at your job. But, you are also a loudmouth, who negatively affects the people around you. But, your boss finds your work indispensable. You are offered a 5K annual bonus to shut up. Morale shoots up, everyone is happy.

Adam Kennedy has one year left of a 3/10 deal. That last year is guaranteed. Isn’t it implied that part of that 10MM is shutup money? Whether you play or not, you are getting 3.33MM.

Let’s see how happy he’ll be riding the bench for 1MM instead.
