I love Gallagher as a player - he is way up on my list of guys I would love to have on my team.

But $6.5M for him is... well let's call it full value. At his best, he is worth $6.5M. However, this deal is for 6 years, and there was already some question this year as to whether he is still at his best.

I doubt that he is worth $6.5M for any more than 2 years, then this is going to be a bad contract, IMO.
