$2 million per season is quite a tall ask for Motte. With him receiving 40% of his original ask by Tampa, it is clear that Motte's overvaluing of himself screwed himself out of hundreds of thousands.
If Motte were to have had a more modest ask at the start, say $1.5 million, he would likely have a better contract right now but instead, Motte is receiving below the 7-figure mark.
