David's been clear that he wants this next contract to be the last of his career...so 7 years should get it done. I know a lot of Mets fans will bitch about how it will cripple the team in the back end of the deal, but I don't care. This guy has been in the league for 9 seasons and is clearly the best everyday player they've had in their history.
Hopefully in 6-7 years once his production rails off, the Wilponzis will be out of shit's creek. A big market team can afford one bad contract.
