If you agree that Bledsoe would make less if he were signing a guaranteed contract, than I'm not sure where you disagree with Burger or me.

I think Bledsoe would rather have a 2 year guaranteed contract worth $30 million than a sham five year $75 million one that could leave him open to constant renegotiation and termination at any point after the ink dries.

That sounds like a chapter in the book I can't wait to read.
