Hell, yes, they could afford to pay him that.
It costs them an extra $20 million or so over the next three years of his career... and then saves them an enormous amount (probably around $50 million) over the next six.
And that's with an estimate of $20 million/year for his 7th, 8th and 9th seasons (which would be his first three years after qualifying as a FA).
