Which scenario would you take as a professional athlete?
Posted on 4/2/16 at 3:32 pm
Posted on 4/2/16 at 3:32 pm
Play for team A:
Make an average salary of $10 million/ year for 10 years and have no shot at a championship. Example... Play for the Titans.
Play for team B:
Make an average salary of $6 million/ year for 10 years and compete for a championship. Example... Play for the Patriots.

Um, B? Be rich and a winner > Be rich and a loser.

I'll take the extra $40 million.

How famous am I in both scenarios?

Team A. I'll take the extra money and knowing its for 10 years the team may just turn it around enough to make a run at a super bowl. But bottom line is ill have a bigger pool than the guy on the pats.

B. Ton of dough and a ring. I can retire on $60M no problem
Posted on 4/2/16 at 3:47 pm to TechDawg2007
I'd take a significant pay cut to play in a city I like. I'd tell a few teams to not draft me.

The only reason to take Option B is if you have no children or family to take care of. That would make it a lot easier to sacrifice the money for personal and team glory.

Option A easily. All you're playing for is a CHANCE at a championship. The Patriots, as competitive as they've been, went 10 years in between super bowl wins. Meanwhile, the Saints for instance were a perennial cellar dweller who won a super bowl in that 10 year period. You would have never predicted that in 2005. The NFL specifically has so much fluctuation that it's easier to take the money and hope that the pendulum swings in your favor in the 10 years you're playing

A give me the money

championships, plural.
Posted on 4/2/16 at 4:05 pm to TechDawg2007
B. I can live with 6 million a year.
Posted on 4/2/16 at 4:07 pm to TechDawg2007
I'll take the scenario that 99% of pro athletes do. The money. Only fans care about championships.
Posted on 4/2/16 at 4:15 pm to TechDawg2007
Give me the money
Posted on 4/2/16 at 4:20 pm to TechDawg2007
ill take option B. I already do in my real life, getting paid very little to do shite that I enjoy. I think it's worth it, and on this scale where money isn't an issue, the decision would be even easier.
Posted on 4/2/16 at 4:26 pm to TechDawg2007
I wanna win.
Posted on 4/2/16 at 4:30 pm to TechDawg2007
If I'm Kaepernick I might seriously consider Denver over SanFran. Lose some money in the first year, but if his career is revived, that could mean he'll make a ton of more money down the road.

With the first pick in the draft the Tennessee Titans select...Partywiththelombardi
Partywiththelombardi what are your thoughts on being a Titan? I love BBQ, Country Music, and the outdoors. I can't wait to sublease an apartment in Tennessee during football season then move back to my beach house in January when we are done playing.
I would be just like Leon.

31-32 years old with career earnings off 100 million sounds better than 60 million pretty much anyway you slice it.

I'd want to be the best player I could be.
Generally speaking, a $100mil 10 year span would mean I was better than a $60mil 10 year span, so I'd take the $100mil as it would likely mean I was the better player.
