even more reason to lock in a salary when the TV money looks inexhaustible
I don't think anyone is saying he shouldn't take a 3rd year if he can get it.
However, unless you believe (like NJ does) that he'll have zero value in the third year, then he should make a projection about his worth then - risk adjusted - and use that to evaluate offers.
There's another point to be made. Adam enjoys a quiet, rural existence when not in season. Huntin', fishin', cattle. He's already got enough to live comfortably the rest of his days, and 2 more years at $13m per year would just be piling on more where it's not really likely to do much for his lifestyle. Maybe 2 and out works really well for him. After all, bass are on the beds when he'd otherwise be in spring training.
