Why are people shocked to see an eight year term? No way he signs for 4 or 6 years unless you're ready to pay him 10 million a year especially after the team traded away their 21 year old future franchise center. If he gets injured then oh well, put him on LTIR and insurance will pay him and you get the cap space back.
Centres know what their worth these days and their going to get max term and a high cap hit whether its with their team or in free agency.
