age 26 season through age 39. very likely 125M wasted the last 5 years.

like professor ape said, little wiggle room, can't trade, etc etc. the guy has been up and down and slightly injury prone so far... good luck, philly.

he'd have gotten 10years 35-40M/year before the owners clearly set a soft cap on themselves. shhh, no one is supposed to know, but the behaviour is screaming it overtly, lol.

hey, if he starts being consistent every year and plays 150g/year until ~36-37, i'd call it a good contract and eat my words... lots of ifs there... even in that context, it's 75M wasted... just thrown away and delays any rebuilding and nearly eliminates the likelihood of reloading. i wouldn't do that, but it would be regarded as a decent trade at that point... somehow... the bar is quite low, lol.
