Most people that make contracts with the Devil have little negotiating power, and end up having to sign whatever the Devil offers (think Prince Fielder here). Brett, on the other hand, had all the leverage and was able to whip up some extra perks in his contract. I mean, how else can you explain his completely unrealistic ability to start 213 consecutive games as QB. The QB is the target of 11 hard-hitting guys on every play. Chris Chandler couldn't make it through 3 games without getting a concussion, and Brett lasted for over 12 years.

Ultimately, the Devil realized he'd made a bad contract, and with both players having an option for 2008, the Devil ultimately decided it was in his best interest to not exercise that option. Brett was left with no other option than to retire.
