[QUOTE="Thirteen Below, post: 1030187, member: 18006"] Maybe neither one of those things was the main reason. The guy's smart enough to realize that there's a damned good chance this is the last contract he ever signs, and however much money he makes in 2024 may be the last NFL paycheck he ever gets. It may have all come down to just wanting to get every last million or two dollars out of the deal that he could possibly get. He wakes up every morning and feels the aches and pains, and only he knows how many more there are than a couple of years ago, or how much longer they take to go away. He hears that clock a'tickin', and he's the only one who knows how much louder it's ticking than it was a year ago, even 6 months ago. Maybe those two injuries last year made an impression on him, with how long it took for them to clear up, and maybe he's even still having problems with them. He may think this is his last chance at a "payday" contract, and just a couple of million more dollars is enough to make the difference to him. It could be that simple. I mean that's a hell of a lotta zeroes, especially if you have good reason to believe they're the last zeroes yoiu're ever going to earn in professional football. [/QUOTE]
