I understand the low shelf life of the average NFL player and trying to maximize profit, but going to a non-contender for a few extra million is something that I just dont understand.
4 year/56 million with Bortles
Or
4 year/50 million with Luck. Id go with Luck.
Maybe its the lifestyle i guess.
You give a lot hard working people out there 50 million dollars, most of them will have more money than started off with in 5 years.
I know i would.

extra 6M with no state taxes
florida vs. indiana (especially in the winter)
these guys want to get paid, and as you stated they have a short window to do it, and I dont blame them. doesnt surprise me at all. fans want them to sacrifice money for the chance to win, not the players in general
we are not considered the contenders we once were, even with luck. if you make that argument with an aging vet who really wants to win one and goes to NE or maybe a team like dallas, then sure. but in general, they go where the money is best.
you mentioned giving hard working people 50M. 70% of lottery winners go broke. 78% of nfl players go broke within a couple years of retirement. people are largely dumb and irresponsible. |
