Wouldn't they be better off signing one year contracts so they can be free agents every year and go to the highest bidder - or at least use that as leverage with their current team?

The contracts are not guaranteed but the signing bonus is. The longer the contract the bigger the signing bonus. If a player has a career ending injury he still gets all of the signing bonus. If he was on a one year deal and was injured he wouln't get any money after the current year.

The NFL doesn't guarantee its contracts, so players don't have much room there.
Yes, players give up some bargaining positions with a series of one-year deals. Then again, there usually is a big signing bonus involved, so that tends to compensate for it. And, they get to keep that bonus even if they are cut later in the contract.

Yep. he's gotten smaller to the club so Suarez is helpful to the golf equipment judgements for the given settlement era. yet while Suarez says that he does not prefer to stay on the club, then Liverpool could be in a position the place they'd desire to sell. the reason in the back of it is if the participant is gloomy, he shouldn't carry out. If he does not carry out, his value will depreciate. Suarez has basically come off a ideal season the place he truly carried out himself as between the ideal forwards in Europe, there is extreme call for for gamers of his high quality and a great variety of golf equipment will pay a huge value to entice him over. in the event that they stored him on an identical time as he had to leave, it is a threat that he won't carry out and if issues flow undesirable he would lose his place interior the factor and Liverpool won't as lots money off him. in spite of the undeniable fact that if Suarez or the different footballer has a launch clause of their settlement, then yet another club has the spectacular to set off this via offering to pay it. as quickly because it is comprehensive, the club has the spectacular to barter with the participant if the participant accepts the interest.

some players actually want to win in addition to make money. If good players stay wth one team, that team will win. Not that many players are dumb enough to wanna learn a new system every year ...their offseasons become harder because they're constantly trying to get caught up on the playbook and learning what they're gonna have to do with a new team

Ever hear of a baseball player getting a "signing bonus" of a few million?
Money already paid can not be gotten back unless the player walks away. If he is cut, say, like Williams, for continually failing a drug test, that money is his to keep.

Yeah man they make a massive amount of money off of signing bonuses. How do you think rookies get rich so quickly? Its because of the fat bonus they get when they sign the dotted line. The rest of the money they just make in small increments (well, small to them). All in all I think its worth it, if you want to get out of a team bad enough just do what Randy Moss did in Oakland and pretty much give up and make everyone think you've lost your edge. It's already been reported that he's running routes and making catches that we haven't seen since Minnesota, at the Patriot's training camp... because he's happy.
