I'd rather take the 35 mil next year over the 17 mil this year.

So you know what contract he is getting next year? Also, an Achilles injury isn’t career ending. He would still get a new contract from some team. So let’s say he signed the tag this year and gets injured. He would only need a contract with 18 million guaranteed on his next contract to equal your magical 35 million.
It’s stupid for anyone in any profession to give up an entire year of income during their prime earning years.
