Here is the great question many players in the NFL face.
Edgerrin James is the best example as of late
Asante Samuel and Randy Moss may be making he decision soon.
If you were a NFL player, which route would you go ??
The Indianapolis Colts seemed to want Edgerrin James to come back and reportedly had offered him a decent deal....but not too near what he would garner on the open market.
The Edge could have stayed there playing for a proven winner and become very rich. Or he could choose to leave to be incredibly rich and barely relevant to the NFL. He Chose B. While his wallet is huge, he's hardly noticeable anymore. He could have stayed with Indy, and had fame and fortune. But he chose the bigger fortune. And now we seems invisible.
Guys like Asante Samuel, Randy Moss, and maybe to a much smaller extent C Williams will soon face that same decision.
Most of the better teams as of late have managed their cap effectively. And there WILL be teams desperate enough to win that they will grossly grossly overpay for services.
Both Samuel and Moss can stay in New England, win more titles, and have both fame and a lesser fortune. New England rarely overpays players, and when they leave many players will go there at a lesser price to win and win big
Or Moss and Samuel can go for the bigger fortune and very possibly fade back to obscurity.
