I’m weary of bringing in anyone over five years. If we look at the GM Sutter days, and even looking at others’ signings for long term deals, very few players live up to their long term contracts. It comes down to professional discipline, health, injuries, and natural progressions. When a player takes up a large amount of cap space those can be team killers. Those contracts should be given out yo surefire franchise players who have a high chance of living up to that billing. If it’s a cog player as many FA are, most teams are taking a lazy approach to just get it done and worry about the future ramifications later. Tampa Bay today is making some big mistakes that are going to be felt later down the road by giving out those long term high value contracts that don’t tend to age all that well. At least the chances are they won’t. Big gambles and some of them just come from ownership pressure IMO.
