[QUOTE="adambr2, post: 489216, member: 7277"] I do find NFL contracts particularly hard to understand. With MLB, it's pretty simple. Oh sure, some contracts have incentives, no-trade clauses, and things of that nature, but most of them are straight up, you're getting 3 years, and $12 million. Simple. The money is all guaranteed. Cut a guy if you want, but you still have to pay him. Different story in the NFL. Some money is guaranteed, some is not, you may be able to cut somebody for significant savings. Plus there's signing bonuses, roster bonuses, workout bonuses, likely to be earned bonuses....it's complex. One thing that may start coming into play more -- NFL teams can now roll their unused cap dollars over to the following year. [/QUOTE]
