Market value is how these deals are negotiatied man. Agents will show numbers and structures from similar deals and make the case for why their client deserves them , including external factors like time of signing, team outlook, injury history etc etc. What someone else got paid on the open market is relevant to these discussions too. If you don't believe listen to some former or current agents talk about contract negotiation.

He can holdout in year 3. Also $19/yr isn't sub optimal price and even if it is $5 million less, he still makes more by signing now.

You forgot that he gets paid $2 million right now.

Using $19 million since Yannick's side said nothing about the amount, only the # of years.
Year 1- $19
Year 2- $19
Year 3- $19
Total- $57 million

Current contract
Year 1- $2
Year 2- $19
Year 3- $25, new deal, will assume an extreme #
Total- $46 million


Stupid to not sign now. $11 and probably closer to 15 he loses
