Players had a better chance getting a ring with the Browns and Lions last year than with the Bengals. You can't really know. Just you never know when you'll go from Pro Bowler to the operating room table. You see why the big things are the guaranteed money?
YOU want the team to have the ring. We want that the team we root for wins it all. In the end, these guys wan it, too, but still want riches which is more of a sure thing. Sign that contract, you got that money. Buy that house, get that car, whatever you want. "Go for the ring" maybe it works out, maybe not. Some things you can't control. Marshawn Lynch had a Super Bowl ring until the Seahawks passed it to Malcolm Butler instead of handing it off.
$5 million or a Super Bowl ring? Yeah, most taking that cash. Ring don't put the kids through school.
This argument doesn't hold water because they have already earned 70-100 million in this scenario, another 5 million to send them to school?
Marshawn Lynch already had a ring before they went for that pass for his 2nd ring, lol.
On Burrow's contract (50 million a year) it's only 10% of it. Would he make 45 million one year to have a ring instead? Comon now.
