But he is only getting $48 million over 5 years with is $9.6 per year.
Doesn't matter how much he gets each individual year.
This deal is no different then had they waited to sign him after the season, with a brand new 4 year 48 million dollar deal. If that were to happen he would then be worth... 12 million a year on his new contract.
We set his market value moving forward at 12 million a year. Period. End of story.
I can't believe you guys argue such a simple concept. Yes, over 5 year he makes 9.6 mil. But the 4 years extended is new money, and reflects his current market value. The money needed to secure him beyond this season is how you determine the value of the contract. The first year was already in place, which was set 3 years ago.
