There are many, many ways to compare a contract.
You can base on the value that was given in the past. You can look at the value it is giving today. And you can look at what you are guessing to be future value.

No, you really can't do that, because the only time when a contract can be signed is - when it was signed. That's why term is always an issue. You have to look at the contract as a whole. Look at Gio's. Was he worth almost $7M when he left? No. But that was the only way to get the number where it was for the entire term. And he was great value for the majority.
My "comparison" was to show how it doesn't work just to look at a go forward number. Because it ignores the conditions under which a contract is signed.
