I'm kinda hazy on the MLE rules now, but I'm pretty sure they have one MLE ($20M over 4 years) reserved for teams that are under the luxury tax threshold, and a mini-MLE ($9M over 3 years) reserved for teams that are over the luxury tax threshold.
I'm pretty sure the deal we gave Carter was the mini-MLE.
