Probably a bit more than a Buchnevich or Reinhart. Which I'm sure some will scoff at, but their recent numbers weren't very different, and those 2 guys came in with more term at better AAVs.

Lots of middling players have permission to explore the market early. Those are the deals we see immediately. The superstars usually take several hours if not days.
And contracts are standard - there are only a few possible variables to worry about.
