They usually choose 1) but I think agents need to start thinking 2) more often.

Good points but really the only player I can think of (of the top of my head) that actually did option #2, is Glencross when he signed his four year extension here
He still roughly produced 20/50 every season over the contract while providing leadership and some ( a lot) of people still complained about him
