Contracts like these drive the rates up across the league, and make it harder to sign players within a team structure. Agents will want to Skinner's contract as a comparable. I think Brad negotiations should be used as a model to learn how to get your contracts to fit within a team structure. Skinners contract hurts the league. I'm not sure why some Buffalo fans are defending it.
