Never, ever sign a catcher to a long term deal past his age 32 season. 95% of them go downhill after that season.
When I have a stud 4+ star catcher, I try to lock him up in his 1st arbitration year in his mid 20's and tack on 3-5 years post-arbitration and then I let him go in FA. That way I get his best 10 years.
