As I have said in the past, NFL teams pretty much print their own money, are required to spend a minimum/maximum amount it and all is well.  It may sound funny, but I think it is us the fans that pay the price for these huge guarantees when they go south.  How? Higher ticket prices, higher product costs and higher merchandise cost.  Not to mention having to watch a team suffer through the consequences of its own bad contract decisions, by putting a more diluted team on the field.</blockquote>
