If there was a guarantee he would be the 38 sack guy for the next three years, then it is obvious. However, in the NFL (Not for Long), players rarely get that type of production after 30. If Ballard made this move, the people applauding it today would be the ones saying that he needs fired when he doesn't live up to the contract. Grigson made those moves (well, probably worse than that, but you know what I mean), and got applause for a few months for them. The same applause turned into pitchforks and torches in short order.
