Weegar does play a very aggressive game so will make the odd mistake or two, but that aggressive playstyle makes him extremely effective. There’s a reason Weegar has been a favourite player among the analytics and data community. In the first four seasons of the extension, Weegar will receive $2M in signing bonuses and $4.25M in salary. One of the reasons why the AAV might be a bit lower than expected is due to Weegar only having two elite seasons so far. That turns into a 10-team no-trade list in the last four seasons. In the final four seasons of the extension, Weegar will make a pure $6.25M salary.
