Football has non-guaranteed contracts, constant risk of major injury, and an earning window of 3-6 years at the best. I dare say that if the same applied to you, you would take the bag over maybe winning a championship with your old team.

Not to mention that their job basically involves being willingly involved in a car wreck 17 times per year.
