Term is more important than dollars for Backlund.
3 years would be the sweet spot but I can't imagine he'd accept that.
Frans Nielsen is probably his closest comparable and he signed last summer for 5.25 until he's 38 (wow Detroit good luck with that)
I'd put a 3x 6.25, 4x5.75, or 5x5 on the table for Backlund on July 1.
