Losing $8M in the present isn't guaranteeing the he won't miss out on the 50-70 mil later. If it were, then I would understand his position. Chances are high that he could have had both. Of course there's always the chance that an injury ruins his opportunity at the larger guarantee, but he's not fully eliminating that chance. He's only reducing it by 60%. It's entirely possible that he loses the $8M and severely injures himself causing him to miss out on the 50-70M.
Correct
So he reducing 400 touches to 100 to medigate risk. You’re saying basically that’s fine except he’s still taking a risk to get a contract he may not get either way and losing out on potential to make a huge chunk of change now.
I can see value in both positions. I’m not angry with him taking the position he chose as some people seem to be but I think I understand it. your argument is completely valid too.
