At the MLE, I think he's a slight overpay. But not a bad one. But as you start sliding higher, I think it's not justified by what we've seen.
Maybe it doesn't happen but I feel like he has to be the top guy currently on the roster to fill the role as the #3 guy. And I would prefer testing him out with a set, defined role for a while before burning assets to replace him.
But I do think it would be irresponsible to go above 4 year/$60 mil this summer.
That's right around what the MLE would be next year with the expected 10% cap raise
