[QUOTE="RRyder, post: 714818, member: 10329"] I get what your saying but very few contracts are fully guaranteed in the NFL to begin with. The only one I can think of that came close was Revis and now the Jets will pay him 6 million this year not to play for them. It's why the guaranteed numbers are the only ones that count in NFL contracts otherwise while a player like Sam Shields made 10 million last year while only playing one game he'll now miss out on another 10 million because he was subsequently released and now will never see the remainder to the money that was still owed on the contract. So there still is a situation where players have to earn their keep so to speak. Or earn it enough to not make it more cost effective to take the cap hit Contrast that with the fully guaranteed deals in the NBA where an idiot like Larry Sanders can literally just decide he wants to quit playing and take a few years off so then the Bucks have to pay him 40 million just to sit at home. It'd be like the Packers being obligated to pay his remaining contract when he decided to hang em up. But in either case it's simply what the market dictates in both sports contract situations [/QUOTE]
