    Richard Jefferson was an overpriced $14 million swingman in San Antonio last season.

    His new deal will likely give the Spurs more for their money.

    The Spurs re-signed Jefferson to a multiyear deal Wednesday, nearly a month after the nine-year veteran opted out of a guaranteed $15.2 million next season. Terms of his new deal weren't disclosed, but Jefferson had been willing to give up the final year of his bloated deal for longer-term security.

    "To him, being able to secure his future under the current set of rules that we're living under, eliminates some uncertainty," Spurs general manager R.C. Buford said.

    Jefferson did not meet with reporters. His agent, Todd Eley, did not immediately return messages Wednesday.
