Also, he is going to earn a minimum of $10.5 million from the guaranteed 8 years contract with us. Goes up to over $13.3 million if he plays the last 2 years that are club optionsAnd he’s said himself the length of the deal is what he was looking for, too. 10 years at $1mil definitely beats 4 years at $1.5mil and then a career ending injury. He’s a smart guy.
Thats before you include what he already earnt from Parra….. if he can’t comfortably set up his family and live off that, then an extra $300,000 a year isn’t going to help him
I highly doubt he would kick up a stink in a few years time asking for more money. I think he knows what he signed on for and is more then happy with the security it provides himself and his family
