But if they are trying to do more...trying to work hard to reach those goals, then wouldn't you see an improvement in overall game play? Each player is trying to prove themselves worth the contract. I just think that would equal good things?

I think it's just that players have the "me" attitude. As soon as they get paid, they feel they have nothing left to prove. Even if they are a bust, they're still getting their millions. That is one problem I have with the this free agency thing.
