Desmond, who is on the wrong side of 35 and has not played well recently, has now given up $23 million in guaranteed money to sit out the 2020 and 2021 seasons. Whatever you think of his decision, he is certainly putting his money where his mouth is."Hope...may be indulged in by those who have abundant resources...but those who stake their all upon the venture see it in its true colors only after they are ruined."
