A multi-year contract, with the intention of only playing one season before "retiring", and still get paid for as many seasons as the contract is long.. if a dude gets hurt, maybe, but not if he retires.. Dude made like $100 million for playing one season!
Ridiculous.. if they retire, they forfeit the balance of the contract..
Friendship is like peeing your pants.. Everybody can see it, but only you can feel the warmth..
