Im going to say they split the difference and the deal comes in to average $6 million a year which is fair for both sides. Personally i think Riley is actually better than a few of the guys who got paid more, but being on a 3-13 team hurts his value. I will say that of the guys in the $7 million a year range, I would not have paid that for any of them.
I would be ok with 6m. Fair compromise for continuity's sake.
