I just read the rumored "details" of the Stallworth contract, and of course, this whole post is pending actual details. But I noticed with Welker, Stallworth, and AD, the contract details discussed here were longer deals, not 1-2 year deals.
Question: what's beent the trend elsewhere in FA?
It would seem to me, that contracts can now be locked up, so you're paying today's price for good-to-primo pickups, and paying that price for longer, knowing that tomorrow's price goes bonkers...
In other words, you pay the ADs and Dauntes of the world a nice little sum up-front, because the risk of poor performance and injury is countered, to an extent, by the known pressure on the FA market to go nuts in the next few years.
Any validity to this? Or do we all just overthink these things and read too many tea leaves? Discuss.
