He's 33/34 and can get a long-term contract with dummy years. It would be foolish of him not to cash in big time. Playoff performer, lots of playoff experience, two rings -- he can make bank if he angles it right. Seven year deal arranged with two dummy years, why not? Cap is going up big time isn't it?
If I'm his agent I would push for a long deal with dummy years.
Seven years 12m - 10m - 8m - 4m - 2m - 1m - 1m is a cap hit of 5.43 and 38m total, this is probably the upper limit of what he could get
Seven years 12m - 10m - 5m - 3m - 1.5m -. 0.9m - 0.9m is a cap hit of 5.76 and 33.3m total, this is still a massive 4 year 30m contract with effectively three dummy years for the big boy
Seven years 10m - 8m - 6m - 3m - 1.5m - 0.9m - 0.9m is a cap hit of 4.33 and 30.3 total with a take home of 27m over four years
GMs will want more reasonable terms but he's going to have a cap hit of at least 5m and at least four or five years.
