Depends on how much of a discount he would give for signing up early.

As a UFA I expect his AAV would start with $6M. Especially in a poor UFA year.

Now Tre has gotten some pretty good deals before, so who knows. But this is Backlund's big contract, so I don't expect he'll give it all away.
I don't think Backs has earned $6M per season on the open market yet but if he has another career season then perhaps he will get that?
