Nice deal

could be a few years shorter but it's a good deal

Not bad at all. Actually a decent cap hit. You'd think with an 11 year deal they could have worked out a better cap hit, but I bet both sides are ecstic. I'd still take Franzen at 4 than Carter at 5.25, but I have a feeling that's just me.

Im sure the majority agrees with you on that one.
