If I were Stevie Y

I'm Seider I take that on a 3 year deal tell you to pound sand on 8 for that . The cap is going to rocket in three years he'll be worth 10.5-12 easily and is a fool if he goes that long that cheap.

That is what I'd be shooting for to establish an internal cap along with Larkin. I'd probably prefer lowering the term before I go above 9 on 8.

I get that from management s POV, but from the players mine makes more sense 24,000,000 is I don't really have to work again if I don't want to money. So, get it on the three then go for the generational money on the next one.

Sure, but I also think you are way overshooting 8.7 being his value on a 3 year bridge. He is more likely to come in at 7, or lower, on that term. Number that has been leaking on an 8 year is 9.2.

So if 9.2 is the number, you try to work down to 8X8.7. If it can't get done, I prefer 7X8.7 to keep the internal hard cap that no one gets paid more than the captain.
