When all else fails, just switch the argument up.
Contracts aren't based entirely on skill. Sometimes they reflect risk. LaFell is about to turn 30 and is coming off an injury.
Marv Jones just turned 26 and is coming off his best season.
The training, nutrition, medicine, fitness, playbooks and rules evolve. The athlete does not.
