Everyone for that matter
I guess we have a precedent now
$1.00 now is worth about 40-60 cents in 2031, depending on a multitude of factors - definitely toward the lower end if it isn't needed for immediate survival and can be used for investment, especially in tax advantaged methods. They implicitly accept dimes on the dollar if they don't insist on front loaded contracts.

That's why a series of 1-year contracts is so much more beneficial for the player, especially when they're on the rise (like Seth Jarvis). The time to take the long term contract is when you've peaked.
