Before the start of the 2014 season Desmond still had two years on his contract and turned down a 7 year 107 million dollar extension. In 2016 he turned down the Nats qualifying offer of 16 million. In 2016 he ended up signing for 8 million and getting moved to the outfield. In 2017 he signed a 5 year 70 million dollar contract averaging 14 million a year. Depending on how much he makes the year after the 5 year contract is up he probably will lose about 20 million over those 7 years. I think he'll be okay though.
