The other question is term. He may be playing himself into a fourth year more than a bigger starting number (or maybe a partial guarantee in the fourth that raises his average over three years).
Interesting dilemma is also how you distribute his contract over years. Start low and increase year by year is good short term as you can add more to the roster, but will make his contract difficult to move in his age 31/32 seasons, especially if he regresses a bit. Start high and decrease is the other way around. I think this one is interesting if the plan is to operate over the cap.
