That's not EVEN REMOTELY BAD BACKLOADING!
Stop selling your point...

When the third year of a three year deal is more than 100% greater than the first year, that's a whole lot of backloading.
<!--QuoteEnd--></div><!--QuoteEEnd-->
When the third year of the deal is only a $1.5 million deviation from the mean, I don't think it's much backloading personally.
<!--QuoteEnd--></div><!--QuoteEEnd-->
That's a fair point (though, "$1.5 million" is relative, imagine if the mean was $1 million - would you not then say it was a heck of a lot of backloading? It's all relative, to me anyway).
To me, when a guy is getting double the salary in the last year of his deal compared to his first, that's heavily backloaded. Very, very few contracts fall into that category.
