[QUOTE="HardRightEdge, post: 492564"] I'm aware, and it's a good point. But the term of the contract with guys this age effectively defines the outer limit of your term of commitment regardless of whether there's a guarantee. In other words, if Jackson earns his pay the next two years and stays healthy, ATL's deal says they would have him back for that 3rd year. On the other hand, a two year deal suggests you hew closer to the old Bill Walsh adage...better let them go a year too early than a year too late. I endorse the Walsh adage. So the trouble I was referring to is if you bring the guy back for a third year, you're counting on something from him, he's taking a roster spot that could have gone to a youngster...and then the guy falls apart...then you've messed up. I don't know if Jackson got a signing bonus in this deal, but if he did that would factor in. There would be dead cap money associated with the third year which would be at least a partial disincentive to cutting him before the end of the deal. [/QUOTE]
