Fair, and I'd tend to agree, but overall I just don't think there is much daylight in between them at all.

Don't have a sub so can't read the article, but it really depends on the criteria. Unless a guy signs it between age ~21-25, I think you should generally assume a 7-8 yr deal has negative value at the end, and also generally less trade value throughout.
Obviously a lot depends on where your team is in their cycle, but in most cases I'd take a shorter team great AAV over a long-term 'fair' AAV as it gives so much more flexibility.
