I didn't say it was a bad contract right now, what I am saying that within the context it was signed it was far from as good of a deal as it could have been.
Its been 4 years since RFA contracts of this size has been the standard. It is unsustainable, and we will see teams walk back from offering contract this size to RFAs because of the way the cap is now. For better or worse Chia and Draisaitl set a new standard for how good RFAs get paid.
