Gio won't have a lot of negotiating power when he's 36 or 37, so he'd be wise to sign the longest possible contract he can.

The only reason you'd give an 8 year deal to an aging player is to lower the cap hit for the first 2/3 years. That's not relevant here. Gio won't be playing or certainly not at a high level in 6 years, so why go to 8?
