| Contract Extensions - 2011Did they paid off? These numbers say "no"Here are past single-season contract extensions where the extension 
          salary was greater than the following season's actual salary.   Note - since there are so many extensions and many are duplicates 
          between leagues, we only show the players - not the leagues/teams 
          where they were signed.  Also, this lookup is actually done on 
          any player who had a contract entering the 2012 season.  In 
		  some cases, the contract may have been signed in 2010 or earlier as a 
          multi-year contract.  (So the contract signing may appear unwise 
          in a single-season perspective, but may have been a reasonable risk a 
          year or two earlier). |
