Curious how his algorithm works - this projection basically shows zero premium paid for more years between 5-7 years, then a big jump for an 8 year contract. That seems to be the case for most of the RFA players on his list for some reason - if I were to guess, it does seem like it's generally franchise players that sign 8-year deals as an RFA so perhaps that inflates things. Or maybe it's that Matthews signing a monster 5-year contract has kind of thrown the 5-year value out of whack.
