If you take a bridge deal, you don't get long-term money. That's the way it works, it isn't a free pass to riches.
Wow those first two years at 3m are really going to weigh the AAV down, I guess we should for sure expect an AAV with a 6 in front, maybe a 5. Honestly at these numbers, management should be pushing for a 4 year deal at 4.0m-4.75m or something. 4 years is a long time and he'll still be an RFA at the end.
