I would be pretty happy with a contract that start with a 6 and goes over 8 years. Gio signed his 6 year when he was 32. Getting Hanifin signed till he is 35 is good asset management considering how much the cap is going to start going up. Cap might be 10M higher in a couple years. He accounts to 6% cap hit right now, at 6.75 and a cap of 92M (expected in a couple years) he would be around 7%. Through his prime years that isn't terrible. On the back half of an 8 year, the cap % will continue to lower and probably end up sub 6%.
