Re: Steelers target Alejandro Villanueva for long-term deal
its a business .... remember that
those with the leverage dictate the terms
if you have a guy locked up for 2 years 4 million and he can not do anything about it he would be a FOOL not to take 5 million a year for a 4 year deal because in the end that is 6 million over 2 years MORE than he would have got .... 2 more years 10 million more plus the 6 mill extra he would get in year 1 and 2 combined is 16 million .....( more than he would ever earn in 1 year ... so he is essentially gambling 1 year of future worth that may or may not come to fruition do to age and potential health ) ..... my guess ( and thats all any of us can do is guess ) is the Steelers are going to offer 6-6.5 million a year and probably 5 years lets go ahead and say 6.5 thats 32.5 million ....
year 1 and 2 he would be making 9 million more dollars than what we currently are forced to pay .... anything can happen in 2 years in the NFL that is pretty damned good future security when the next play could be the last play of your career ..
its a win / win for team and player and in business without leverage anytime you have a chance to win you should think real hard before saying no
