[QUOTE="digsthepack, post: 52723, member: 209"] As a player, there are two paths to follow to your riches, each with pros/cons. On one hand, you have the long-term deal. The benefit is that the player gets a big chunk o' change guaranteed up front. This is nice as it protects the player from financial hardship should their career be cut short due to injure. It provides financial security. That being said, it is not uncommon to have the value of the contract exceeded (in many cases by lesser players) rather quickly. Which is the crux of the Walker situation. Now, Javon...you want to max your dollars in the league, play on a year-to-year basis, or a string of several very short deals. You are assured of getting max dollars over the duration of your contracts, providine your play warrants it. But, sadly, there will not be a big signing bonus so, if your career is shortened for any reason, there is no assurance of financial security for you and your family. Cannot have it both ways, Javon...but, then again, you probably do not possess the mental acuity to grasp that. [/QUOTE]
