1st that comes to mind is Lebron, Derick Rose ?

Pujols never

[paco]

Kd35

[MartinBlank]

Nope.

Not a one. Not because the two players you mentioned aren't worth it, but because you can't predict things like injuries.....I always go back to Grant Hill. Hill was a dominant player, Hill was Rookie of the Year, an All-Star his first two seasons---and was the first Piston to score more than 1000 points his rookie year.

After his first 6 seasons....only 2 players, Larry Bird and Oscar Robertson had better offensive numbers than Grant Hill did.

And then the injuries started.

And had Detroit locked him for 10 years---my god, what an awful contract that would have been.

Buster Posey

[Sanka]

Don't think I'd let her play sports in those 10 years though...

[ryanjep]

great example !!

[B1GER1C828]

Ovechkin, Crosby, Pujols 1st 3 that came to mind because they all dominate

[ngates815]

Lebron James.

Sidney Crosby.

Shaun White.

[tcmoody99]

If Jamarcus Russell is still on the purple drank, I'll take him.

[Metalhead]

Players that sign really long term deals almost always live up to them.

Rick Dipietro
Alfonso Soriano
Michael Vick
Barry Zito
Vernon Wells
Mike Hampton
Albert Haynesworth

[VegasInsider]

Steven Stamkos

[Chimneyfish]

Buster Posey

This is the correct answer considering his current age, what he's already proven, and longevity of the sport he plays. Pujols is obviously great but signing him to ten years would mean there would be a point where you're paying a huge amount of money to an athlete in his forties.

[dabomguy11]

Adam Morrison, cuz he'll be just as good 10 years from now.

[JMobile]

Bryce Harper.

[Herky]

Any great football players - you can release them when they get old and useless

That's actually a pretty good point, as long as there isn't too much guaranteed money, at least not towards the end of the contract.

[muldoon]

Crosby

[rem sleep]

Dirk Nowitzki. I think he can play his style into his early 40's easily.

he's proven? are you sure, hes played less that one year of pro ball --

[yisman]

No one.

Maybe Sidney Crosby.

[Socrates]

Javier Chicharito Hernandez


Yea, i'm a chivas homer,....so what!

[zam77]

Chris Mullin

[BGboothA]

no one.....7 would be tough for me to sign soemone too.

[MendozaLine]

Dwight Howard for Basketball

Felix Hernandez for Baseball

Aaron Rodgers for Football

Mesut Ozil for Proper Football

[3PtShooter]

forgot all about Rogers,,,think he is 27,,means he would have to go untill 37 ??

[k13]

Mostly the white ones.

[Chimneyfish]

I didn't say "he's proven" as in he's left no doubts. I said "what he's already proven"- as in what he was able to accomplish as a rookie. I was contrasting him to players like Strasburg and Bryce Harper. Assuming the person signing to a 10 year deal would be young, I'd rather take the young guy who's proven the most. Taking over the best staff in baseball half-way through the season and then taking them all the way to a championship win is pretty good as far as rookie seasons go.

[eidolon]

I would give Kwame Brown a 10 year contract. He has so much potential.

[clownpuncher]

nobody

to much stuff can go down in 10 years

ask the yanks if they would do the A roid deal again???

[jjgold]

5 Years tops

Owners need to stick together and freeze out players

[stevenash]

Carlos Gonzalez, dude does it all, plays defensive outfield, hits 30 plus taters, drives in 100 plus runs, steals 20 plus bases, hits for average, doesn't juice, and is a pretty good kid.
