But "guaranteed" is a very funny word in an NFL contract. You can have somewhat unguaranteed guarantees. Like, the base salary being guaranteed if he's on the roster in march 2020 might be counted as a guarantee right now, even though it's not yet guaranteed. You can make guarantees say a whole lot of things. And when these reports come out with yearly averages and record guarantees, I feel like it's always agents patting themselves in the back. It's like the old Nate Clements deal of 8yr/80m, that had the last two years voided as soon as he played a single snap, or something like that. There's just so much fluff in NFL contracts, so I think this is all about agents. Record deal in appearance only. Yes i agree with that. He will more than likely get the biggest deal or close to it but that could be filled with fluff contract stuff or roster stipulations.

They can cut him before the start of the official season in March and save a good chunk of money. As a side note, I wouldn't hate it if the Browns did something like this: Browns trade a 6th rounder Jaguars trade a 2nd rounder AND Blake Bortles Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He should be good to go. He had surgery last Friday, so it’d be almost 7 weeks until he has to pass the physical. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its in his best interest to be on a team that doesnt want him there? Im guessing it wont make for a pleasant work environment. Getting cut would be good for him if thats the case. He also should fetch a good deal on the market. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
