Again, if he's smart, he understands his career is short and should be looking to get +/- 10 million under his belt. There are no guarantees he's in a better negotiating spot in those two years from now. I'd say it's unlikely.

Well 4.4 to 4.7 million over the next two years isn't exactly nothing. Being a 25 year old with one more RFA year leftin July 2021 and over 10 million in the career earnings is hardly being in a bad position. He should still have 5 more years left at least come that time.
If he's worried he'll be out of the league in 4 years type of thing...than that is a player you do walk away from. I would hope he has enough belief in himself to think he's got at least 10 more years to play in this league and that he will be worth more in 2 years than he is today.
