[QUOTE="Pokerbrat2000, post: 725946, member: 7261"] For the most part I agree with you, what I was referring to was the fact that Aaron is still under contract for 3 more years. This amount that he agreed to play for, until the end of 2019, should be taken into consideration with a new contract IMO. The same situation would apply to Clay Matthews. If the Packers decided they wanted to extend his current contract (doubtful), they should keep in mind the money they agreed to pay him for the next 2 years. I'm not saying either AR or CM's contracts should be completely watered down or fully padded due to those previous contracts, but they should be factored in. I also get what you are saying by it appears that a team is at a bigger advantage in regards to contracts and releasing players, but the power is really still in the player's hands, play well and you get paid well. Sign the contract or don't sign the contract. Ask for incentives or don't. A player at some point is going to get paid (or not) based on the market and more importantly, their previous year(s) performance. Without heavily based incentive contracts, it's up to the team to roll the dice on just how valuable they think that player will be in the future. Seems like more often, players tend to get over paid on their 2nd and 3rd contracts. The guys on rookie contracts IMO are probably the most often underpaid guys, since the players who don't do much are released without much of a financial hit to the team, but those who are successful, have to wait until that second contract to cash in on their value to the team.
