A Jordan Greenway buyout spans 6 years, has a cost of $3,000,000 and savings of $6,000,000. Greenway is 25 years of age at the time of the buyout; therefore, the buyout ratio is 1/3. With $9,000,000 in salary remaining, the cost is $3,000,000, and the savings are $6,000,000. Buyouts span twice the length of the remaining years and because there are 3 years remaining in the contract, the buyout length is 6 years.
