Considering the context the contract is fine.
1. He has produced more than he was worth on this contract with the exception of the last two years.
2. He has suffered a career altering injury
With that in mind if you wanted to believe he has a bad contract then you could either believe that he did not produce up to the standard of his contract before his injury or that the injury was something that could have been foreseen 6 years ago before he signed his contract.
Otherwise it's just a bad thing that happened that was outside of everyone's control, shifting the debate from is the contract good to is it worth buying out someone who is on pace for 40 points.
