The overall cost of the contract is decreased if you do it that way. That said, most teams find themselves in regret when they are still paying someone while he's retired or on another squad.

The present $ value of the contract is minimized, but the total $ value is still higher when you factor all the payments in. Personally, I think it is always stupid to have to pay someone for years beyond their service time, unless we're talking pensions and things of that nature. Opportunity costs are a bitch.
