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.
Im not angry, I just think it's dumb. I fully believe that he could have signed his offer, got his $14.5M, played his 16 games, got his 1,000,000 touches without injury, and STILL cashed in in free agency. Even if he would have been injured along the way, there's a very high probability that it wouldn't have been bad enough to impact his free agency value.....and even IF he were to be injured so severely that it would, getting as much money as you can before the injury is critical.
I understand his position on the macro-level, but digging deeper and actually looking at it more closely on the micro-level, it doesn't make sense.
