Exactly. They stick with most guys all the way through their contracts anyway.
So I'm not sure why they won't just do business the way everyone else does.
It does stop us from signing a guy every now and then. They've changed for the better in so many ways, but not this one.
The training, nutrition, medicine, fitness, playbooks and rules evolve. The athlete does not.
