[QUOTE="TJV, post: 496226, member: 4300"] [FONT=arial]I don't get this at all. I don't think calling players greedy for maximizing their contracts makes sense either but why look down on a player who is a multi-millionaire many times over (and married to an even richer woman) who wants to leave some money and cap space on the table for other acquisitions? Perhaps his priority truly is winning another championship or two and he's putting his money where his mouth is?
