To me, non-core players should not be getting those longer term deals.  The AAV is fair, but I just don't see players like him sustaining it through their duration.  I don't think it's a bad contract, I just don't know if anyone else would be giving him an 8 year deal.  More like 5 or 6 seems good unless they think he has significant upside left.
