It’s not about betting on yourself, it’s about injury risk. Any reputable agent should at this point a binder of players who lost the bag because they “bet on themselves” and got an injury and the bag vanished.No, I generally subscribe to the belief that players will take money - especially if they have a smart agent. 80-90MM + a NMC to choose your destination is pretty hard to say no to.
But, unlike with Miller, I don’t think the league has as much apprehension. I think Pettersson will be pretty confident betting on himself relative to Miller’s career year playing his weaker position.
