Man, I don't feel bad for some of these athletes being stuck in contracts they don't like. The cap goes up every year, so people get more money every year. So if you sign a 5-6 year contract, by the end of it you'll be underpaid. If you're good, and want to get paid fairly for how you're playing, sign short contracts. Do what Revis did to NE. Short term deal with a crazy expensive final year, so they can't franchise tag you. If Antonio Brown/Julio Jones/OBJ etc were FA's every 2 years, they'd make bank on that bidding war. Then once you're on the backside of your prime/career do the long deal, and your talent drop will match the drop of your pay (comparitively).
They won't acknowledge that an upside top that long term deal is a safety net for them to kero getting paid well even if their production slips some (not enough to be cut, but enough that they aren't quite meeting salary expectations)
