Even at ~$12M AAV, he could end up being a negative value contract, if he continues missing so many games.
That’s probably the most likely outcome.
I think the least likely outcome is a $12mm AAV bargain. In between are numbers more in line with what he has already proven he can do and numbers even higher that are based on his projection, but come with some team protections.
