You would have to be an absolute moron to pick legacy over financial future. Especially as a young player. I might be able see it it for a veteran who has already gotten multiple big deals and only has a year or two left. And probably not even then.

Perhaps, if the difference is great. But if the difference isn't all that substantial (10 million/season versus 11 miilion/season) than I'd certainly consider that a valid consideration.

Carl Nicks left for about a 10% increase over what we were offering. For 10% I'd definitely consider the circumstances over raw dollars every time.

Now if it was a 20% to 40% difference... see ya!
