Isn't that kind of the point? If he signs for $6M x 8 years, does that make him an attractive commodity? Not in the least. If he signs for $5M x five years or less, then you have a player that can be moved, even if he regresses. An asset is only an asset if they are living up to their contract or exceeding that value.
