It's even better when it's a guy I traded away at the right time.

I sometimes give a guy a long term estimating I'll get more than I'm paying early and less than I'm paying later. Also is the amount is the same for each year then he's actually being paid less in later years due to salary inflation.
Also to be considered is whether a player sells tickets. If so he's worth a bit more than his performance. I try to move such a player into a backup roll. Not playing as much fans eventually forget how much they like him. And sometimes he retires which doesn't hurt fan interest (I think it should if a player is still quite popular).
