[QUOTE="Pokerbrat2000, post: 865127, member: 7261"] I disagree with that, they have the choice to make him play on his 5th year option. Frankly, I am sick of teams panicking and handing out new contracts, when there is a year or more still on the old. I mean I get it, you want to keep the player happy and not potentially lose him because he feels you didn't commit to him earlier. However, with how much guaranteed money there is in today's contracts, I think careful thought has to be given to contracts such as Clark's. If you guess wrong and his playing level doesn't increase or drops off, you just handicapped your team with having to carry that contract. Also and I hope I am wrong, but with the kind of money these guys are now getting upfront, is it just me or have we seen an increase in the number of holders of these new huge contracts, drop-off in level of play once the ink is dry? Hard to blame someone that just tucked enough cash in the bank to take care of him and 30 families for a lifetime, if his commitment to a dangerous job drops off a bit. [/QUOTE]
