That is why I don't really understand the "they will be leaving money on the table" in the form of an extra guarantee year. The only way that it will happen is if they get hurt or drastically decline in production and the later is very difficult to happen for elite players unless an injury happen.
If realistically both of these players are almost guarantee another fat contract after this one....it makes sense to sign the 2nd contract the 4th year and not give themselves another extra year where production more than likely will decline.
