If he comes out early then he will make 7.8 mill by the time he is 24. If he stays another year he will make 11.2 mill by the time he is 25. By that point the MLE will be at least 7 mill, which is the minimum contract he will likely sign.
If he come out now he makes 15 mill by the time he is 25, if he waits a year, it's 11.2. Do you now understand?
