Why would a DP be put off by a buy out? That's a selling feature, not a problem. They're here for the money - all of them, don't be deluded otherwise. So the fact that we'll potentially give you the money just to have you not play and be a free agent capable of negotiating another contract elsewhere? That's only a plus, it's only an upside to your earning potential

Imagine applying for a job and getting a huge offer, way more than you are currently on. Imagine the company promises to keep you for four years and that's as long as you'd want to stay there anyway, and then you hear that sometimes they may let people go after 3 but they pay them in full for their fourth year anyway. Is that off putting to you? It wouldn't be to me
