Let's say Detroit drafts Stafford and doesn't pay him alot.. let's say only 25 million instead of 75 million. What's he going to do? Sit out?

What am I missing?
Yeah, he will sit out. It happened as recently as Jamarcus Russell. That is why teams like the Dolphins and Lions wanted the first pick signed before they committed to picking them first overall.
