If Dak would prefer
- To spend a year making 30mil
- in a contract year
- risking injury and the value of his next contract
- playing within a depleted offense, putting bad tape out there, further risking the value of his next contract
- waiting for his next contract until *after* teams have spent the latest big bump in cap
Then he is in a position to make that happen.
As I've demonstrated, there is a lot of financial risk associated with that decision. He can lock in a lot more money in the next nine months by taking a sign and trade contract sooner than later.
