This deal will look like a steal after AJ green stubs his toe and sits out the year raking in another 17m to do nothing? or signing a cornerback who rips his titty 2 days into practice and is out for the year.
It won't because signing HB's is bad business. The below article on HB contract basically sums up why. It comes down to the fact that only about 10% of backs receiving second long term contracts maintain their production from before the contract. 90% of them either slowly declining or fall completely off the cliff but most are cut by the 2nd/3rd year.
