1000%. These players make a lot, but they need this money to survive a lifetime. Retiring at 30-32, you have 50 more years of living and most these players won’t get jobs making 6 figures.
Yes it’s easy to say that a player making millions has enough, but after taxes and high cost of living (and they should, they earned it), they need to maximize their earnings while they can. I would do the exact same thing for my family. I don’t blame any player for trying to make as much as he can. I will applaud someone for taking a cut to play in the city/team you want. But I’ll never get mad for a player trying to get their worth.
