I know we've talked a lot about Naji with his fit and future price tag. Now that he's made it past the TDL, I wanted to break down what an extension could look like for him and see what others think about it.
He can get a 4-year extension, with the 1st year starting 140% above the league average salary (~$12M), with 8% max raises.
Current Contract
26-27 | Age 29: $9.4M
Max Extension
27-28 | Age 30: $16.8M
28-29 | Age 31: $18.1M
29-30 | Age 32: $19.6M
30-31 | Age 33: $21.1M
It comes out to a 4 year ~$75M deal with an average annual value of around $19M.
In fairness to Naji this isn't much more than the projected MLE. The Non-taxpayer mid-level would be around 4 years $64M with an average annual value of around $16M.
