True, but there almost seems to be something more secure about getting multiple short contracts rather than a single long one.  The NFL is no stranger to one-time way too long and pricey single contracts, but something about giving a guy as many contracts and extensions over and over indicates a continued commitment, however small the contract may be.

The Bears gave Jay Cutler a way to big and way too long single contract.  Would you really think they were any less committed to him if they had agreed to 9 one-year contracts?  Hell, Marvin getting a bunch of small contracts shows Mike continuously betting on the guy, not just making one single unwise decision and going overboard ONCE.
