Also not like you are getting him at 23 - he's 27 when this contract starts. So you are paying that for him until he's 34, and he's had some injury injuries the last couple of years.
If you could have made that deal and then got him at a good value deal like $7.5M for 8 years then sure. But to give up those assets and have to pay UFA prices on a contract... that's tough.
