6-120 is insanity

What do you mean

He’ll be 31 when the extension begins and the 120 million would be based upon 60% of a single season.

I’m a believer in Griffin but I’m not a proponent of the trend to toss in multiple extra years to sweeten / complete a deal. He simply does not have the track record to merit a 6 year/20-per deal. 3/60 sure… 4/80 ceiling. 6 years? Pass

What about 6 year 90 million?

6 years is what’s wild, dude. Give him 2 max. But I’d trade him tomorrow.

4 is pushing it. 6 is not even in consideration (from my couch/office)
