I don't think it's a bad deal. We have to remember with the current system, he would have only been earning $700k this season and next. Then some arbitration numbers that would at best be around what he's going to be making.
So he makes considerably more than he would have for the next 5 years. And in return, he gives up 3-4 years of potentially making a lot more if he turns into a star (which is unlikely).
To me, $70 million is a ton of money. If I'm Hayes, the risk is too high to pass that up.
