[QUOTE="HardRightEdge, post: 461406"] I think "security" is a somewhat apt term. Maybe "financial security" would be better? I don't know what else you'd call it when you're guaranteed $8 million or $20 million or $50 million in pay before you do the work. If anything, it's inapt for the opposite reason you suggest. Jennings current 4 year deal was for about $27 mil with some incentives (most if not all have been earned), with about $16 mil guaranteed. He should ALREADY be financially secure. If he isn't, it ain't the owners' problem. I guess his next deal is for "more security". I've got more sympathy for the guys playing for the minimum with no guarantee, but at least they got a free college education (if they chose to avail themselves of it) and at least $390,000 for one years work. Still and all, not a bad start in life if the guy busts out early in his career. Don't get me wrong. Jennings is an outstanding player. He's one of the best route runners in the league, savy and productive in the red zone, not afraid to go over the middle, and one of the best back shoulder receivers in the league...those catches kill corner confidence. He's a hard worker, a good citizen, an engaging personality. The point I've been trying to make is that there are mounting signs he will not be resigned at market. [/QUOTE]
