I think he hit the $30 per year number I said he would and that you said he wouldn't. I never said that he was only worth ~$20 per like you did. The market was already set, this contract is in line with him being the most expensive defensive player signed this offseason, so yeah, the contract is fine. Most people are not happy that it took this long and the opportunity cost in FA was excessive. When I have time later I'll explain to you what those words mean and why they matter.

You said it will be a bad look on the franchise if he dosnt set the market, which he didnt.  The market is set until the next great player gets an extension and then it is re-set.  For all we know this is why it took so long because his camp wanted to set the market but we would'nt do it with a 122.5 mil. guaranteed deal.  Chris Jones set the DT market with his new contract. I think they were actually waiting on Hunters deal but it was rumored Hunter took less money and hes a little older. With that said, he got .5 mil more than Burns, once Burns got that contract it actually helped Allens camp so we had to beat that.   Good to finally get it done for both sides.  Baalke has had a great offseason.
