If Ahman is healthy and confident in his abilities to have a solid season rushing the ball, then he probably doesn't see much risk in restructuring the contract and taking less guaranteed money. However, 2005 and 2007 were not good years for him, all due to injury. He is 31 years old, which by any means is NOT too old to be a great running back. But, after suffering injuries in 2 of his last 3 seasons, I think it would have been smarter to take the guaranteed money. Maybe he is being a little overconfident? We will see. I would like to see the benchmarks and try to make some predictions. I don’t like the move.
