So long as they have not sewered their relationship with the player this could work out really well as they get three good productive years at the front for cheap and can still get a lot of Prime years in the next deal and not be forced to do a long term deal that takes him into his mid to later 30's.

But if the cap starts to escalate quickly and they are looking to compete in a year or 2, things could just start to be looking good and instead of $8 mil a year now it could be $10-11 mil in 3 years.
I could see Zegras putting up 80+ especially if Leo is a star as well.
