Obviously, the closer you get to that moment, the more you start to realize 'this is the last year of my contract.'
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I was keenly aware when I was drafted, when I signed my first contract; immediately, I was thinking about the end.
This will be my last contract. I wanted it to be a good one.
Maybe I'm old-school, but I always thought you honor a contract.
I have a contract but it's not a commitment in the ordinary sense. It's our ongoing conversation.
I shall fulfill my contract, no more nor less.
I'm hesitant anytime someone puts a contract in front of me that has two-year options.
I didn't think I'd be getting a contract at 34. That wasn't in my mind.
My contract is just for this year, but I have an option for next year. It is not signed at this moment, but I am only concentrating on this year. I don't know exactly what I will do in the future.
I've got a contract that keeps me around a few more years.
I know there's a great deal of speculation, and while I appreciate the interest, kind of, my contract ends in May and I'm trying to figure out what I'm going to do. I'm fortunate to have a couple of opportunities to think long and hard about.
