In terms of AAV, McGee currently ranks 9th out of 14 centers of roughly the same skill level. Even at the bigger 20.1 total, McGee's contract isn't bad at all.
Once one wraps their head around prioritizing McGee over other potential targets (most of whom went for higher salaries, anyway) the contract doesn’t sting so much, I agree. And frankly, he’s better than a lot of guys on that list.
