I wasn't using position as an example. I was using dollar figures. Jamal Charles is not top 5% in the NFL. Maybe I should've use a basketball player like Pao Gasol as an example.
That works a lot better because how different NBA contracts are structured. NBA has fully guaranteed contracts, which changes the landscape a bit.
Also how are you guaranteeing a ring exactly? You just giving me one or just putting me on a loaded team with a 95% chance of winning? And I'm I completely guaranteed NOT to win one on the more expensive contract? Why is that exactly if so?
Yes I'm nitpicking, but I'm doing it with the point that there are a billion factors in a decision like this and the average fan view of these things are pretty ignorant

Yeah, it depends on the numbers.
I would take 10 million and no rings over 5 million. But I'd probably take 40 million and a ring over 50 million.
Assuming I'm relatively smart with my money, 40 million + whatever endorsement deals I could get would be more than enough over my and my children's lifetimes.

I think Stephen Curry and John Wall would be a good example of this hypothetical.
Let's say that Curry wins a championship this season, and plays out the rest of his contract (without winning another championship), he retires after this contract.
John Wall plays out this contract and goes to the playoffs every season(never winning a title), he also retires after this contract.
Who would you rather be?
Stephen Curry 4 year 44 million
John Wall 5 year 85 million
