The production drops after contract thread

[Cydios]

So, again... is it me or does "big contract" = "laziness"
I mean, i understand players seek the guarantee for the purpose of injury, but im now starting to see why owners don't like guarentees. In the last 20 years, i can only think of a few players who increased production after the big payday. Just seems players come to Dallas for the big contract.

League wide thing.

Not exclusive to just the Cowboys.

It's the old Dick Motta (NBA coach) "Lottery" theory.

He used to ask: "What's the first thing most people do when they win the lottery? Quit their job."

Unfortunately, it seems as though too many players see that second contract as a destination.
