In raw terms, yes it is to much... however given the upcoming marketplace I actually think he's leaving money on the table. The UFA market is really thin had Phaneaf gone to market I think he would have been offered 7.5-8.0 for the same term by some team. He'd easily have been the best defenseman available (which says more about the market then Phaneaf).
