I agree, but it would have most likely been on a shorter deal. I think $7M x 5 years, $6.5M x 6 or $6M x 7 years might have been pretty plausible for him to get, but if you look at the overall $ value of the contracts, $7M x 5 only locks in $35M while $5.125M x 8 locks in $41M. Sure, if he signed a 5 year deal which brings him to 33 there is a chance he could get another (few) contract(s) that pays more than $6M in total, but there's some risk with that. Likewise, $6M x 7 might bring in more money overall but he might not have been able to get a full NMC which has some value as well, just for the stability of your family.
