I had said yesterday that a shorter deal could be the solution to re-signing Pulock ahead of his arbitration hearing. It’s a move that works for both sides, allowing Pulock to sign a new contract in two years, when he’s still at a prime age for a long-term deal, while the lower AAV helps New York’s cap situation.
I’ll give more in-depth thoughts and analysis on the signing tomorrow.
