It’s stupid for anyone in any profession to give up an entire year of income during their prime earning years.

Lol no one is giving him 18 mil guaranteed after an Achilles injury. Yes it's not career ending anymore but it's still pretty much the worsrt injury a running back in suffer. Long term guarantee > franchise tag while hoping to make up the difference on the next deal like you're saying.
And here's the thing, worst case scenario right now is that he gets 25 mil on another franchise tag next year. He's making a good decision right now.
