I like to think that Sherman chose to take the contract he did because it pays him to perform. A "professional" negotiator may have delivered a deal with higher rewards that were guaranteed regardless of performance, but that is not who Sherman wants to be. Is reducing the risk a "better" deal? Financial planners would say so, but maybe that is not what this contract is all about. It may be somewhat about more gasoline on the fire.
