Free agency starting soon made me think of this. Lets say you make 4 million a year playing for a good team that has a good chance to win a championship. You are a Pro-Bowler and other teams are offering you 14 million, and your team is offering you 10 million a year.
Now, the Lions or the Redskins are offering to pay you 14 million a year for 5 years, but your team, that went 13-3 last year and remains largely unchanged, is only offering 10 million a year for 4 years. So, do you stay with a 40 million dollar contract and a good chance of getting that ring? Or do you jump to a 70 million dollar contract with very little chance of ever even winning your division?
I'm not a millionare and will never be one. I will probably be luck to make 2 million in my lifetime. If it were up to me I would take the 40 million and the chance for a Super Bowl ring,
