8 years @ $8.5 or so
6/7 years @ $9+

But that's my point.
Based on the matrix he will be 30 when the new deal starts so you approach it as a four year deal.
Internally maybe you make a decision to give him 5 or even 6 as a slide or exception, but otherwise it's an "OK then, I guess we have to deal you".
I want Andersson to stay. I don't believe in down to the studs as a rebuild method. But I also don't believe in 8 year deals to 30 year olds.
