2 years is really where it is at, perhaps with a trigger for a third.
If someone else is offering anymore than that length of contract then he should jump at it.

That takes him to free agency. That is a big win for him.

Sounded very confident too, basically said he's had a very strong year and it looks like it's gonna they're gonna lock in a 2 year deal because of it
They won’t be any triggers.
He will be 8 seasons into his career and aged 26 in 2 years time and a free agent.
Most above average players from that point look for a 5 year payday from ages 26-31 to cover the most lucrative portion of their careers.
If he’s not in our top 25% of paid players though, he’ll be a UFA in 2 years time and we could lose him with no possibility of matching a bid. However that’s better than losing him this season so I’m ok with that.

Yep, let's be honest, most players drafted at 18 are not still on an AFL list after 6 years (excluding rucks and some taller key position players I suppose) if they have only played 31 games. Plus Sturt has played 40 WAFL matches so he wasn't injured the whole time.
He has done well to be getting offered a 2 year deal, his career looked gone 18 months ago. I don't think he has shown enough to be getting 3 or 4 year offers from us or another side. This new deal will probably mean he can afford a house now. He has 2 years to show he is worth another one that will pay it off early, and that he is good enough to not just hold down but command a spot in the best 18 of a top 4 side.

He is a more important player then Switta when healthy. I have heard from multiple sources that both were not guaranteed to be at the club next season. Fingers crossed Sam's reluctance to sign is just his manager driving a hard bargain.
