If Francis were wrong Johnny would probably be signed by now. I think he's on to something here.

RFA 2: 6.375
RFA 3: 6.75
RFA 4: 6.75
UFA 1: 6.0
UFA 2: 6.125

It's definitely peculiar that the UFA years are cheaper than RFA and I don't expect this phenomenon to happen with Johnny's contract, but Johnny's RFA years are not likely to come as cheap as you were hoping.

Just because they front loaded the cash as a quasi-bonus doesn't mean that reflects how they valued his RFA and UFA years. My guess is the valuation was roughly 4x$5.5M + 3x$7.5 = 7x$6.375M.
