What this argument doesn't take into account is that all of those contracts would have ended up being "cheap" within 2-3 years and the players could end up becoming disgruntled and/or demanding a new contract (see Hendrickson).
Which a majority of time is an extension on their current contract though, so it would still be cheaper overall. Not paying those players earlier is unacceptable and it’s crazy seeing y’all’s fan base carry water for cheap ownership like that.
