He obviously never took economics at Michigan State and learned about the time value of money.

If he tears his Achilles next year after signing a LTD he gets 35 mil guaranteed. If he would have torn it this year playing on his tag, he would have his 17 and wouldn't be able to make up the 20 mil difference on his next deal.
I'd rather take the 35 mil next year over the 17 mil this year.
