But it was guaranteed for injury last May 1 when the Jags exercised their 5th year option. Bortles had surgery after the season and can't pass a physical currently (and doesn't want to since the 19 mil guarantee keeps him the starter). So the Jags are indeed on the hook for 19 mil for Bortles. You can cut him injured but you still have to honor his guarantee. I've never been concerned with these types of contracts in the past, just a lot to track on my end to catch all of these things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I HIGHLY doubt a professional/NFL athlete purposely attempts to fail a physical. Someone that weak minded wouldn’t have trained hard enough to make it to that point. Someone strong minded wouldn't give up his starting job without a fight. Bortles was injured when the season ended and had surgery. The recovery period is more than the 6 weeks between his last game and the start of the league year. At no point during this mock would Bortles have passed a physical. Unless you are claiming his hand injury was faked or something. http://www.nfl.com/news/story/0ap3000000912181/article/blake-bortles-undergoes-surgery-on-right-wrist Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Injury guarantees don't usually come up but Ryan Shazier is also in a similar situation. The Steelers exercised his 5th year option for 2018 making his salary guaranteed for injury. Obviously he can't pass a physical currently and probably will never play again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DeAndre Levy couldn't walk up stairs yet the Lions deemed him healthy enough to pass his physical so they could cut him without having to pay the money guaranteed for injuries. NFL physicals aren't legit. Not one team would fail him because he's in the latter stages of minor surgery, especially when they stand to save money by not failing him.
