It doesn't make sense for the player. He will not have market control. Knowing where you will play is irrelevant in the NFL. guaranteed money and the first year counts. He's got his home in place and 17 million guaranteed. He can be a fa next year and get another guaranteed 17.
What you say there is true, no name.
But if Tru sustains a devastating injury without a long term contract, he blows the $48-$65 million that he would have otherwise received.
If Tru were my son, I would be trying my best to make him understand the value of a large guaranteed salary and the benefits of long term contract security.
Finally, it's not as if I were suggesting that he work for below market wages. Quite the contrary. I'm proposing something in the $12-13 million range. Exactly where he fits. That projects out to maybe $65 million over 5 years. He'd be more than set for life.
As I've said before, this could be a win-win-win situation for all parties.
All true, but if $34-$35 Million over the last two years (tagged years) doesn't set you up for life, there's something seriously wrong with your money management!
