Although this move makes sense to lock him in sooner for longer, it does shorten the window of his rookie contract.  

Not necessarily. They could extend him without the cap hitting until after year 5 ala Maholmes. That said, I would like the hit hit spread a little bit early (like 5M/year ahead of schedule) to not completely handicap in future.
