After seeing the extra 4 million in my bank account from the contract I recently signed, I would definitely report it to my GM. First of all, that money leaving the team unaccounted for could cost the team extra funds to sign other players, I don’t want to create havoc for my team’s leadership to deal with. Also, this would prevent any possible sanctions from the league office if they discovered the error. 4 millions is a crazy amount, and would be impossible to go unnoticed if it went missing. Not only that, but reporting it would be the honorable thing to do, as I have a great sense of loyalty to my team and I don’t want to mess with that at all. I know it doesn’t mean much on the field in terms of talent and what you need to do to win, but in another sense it means a ton. Chemistry and trusting one another on the defense is the only way that you can stop an offense from completely going through you and exploiting weaknesses. Do I need the money? Yes, I very much do. Is it worth more than my word? No, somebody’s word is worth more than anything, which is what it boils down to.
