[QUOTE="Pokerbrat2000, post: 714830, member: 7261"] I stopped following the NBA for that very reason, high $$ guaranteed contracts, not to mention that the Pro game kind of bores me, still love college Basketball. While the full amount of most NFL contracts are not guaranteed, there are very large portions that are and those portions are based solely on future potential earnings that may never actually be legitimately earned by that player. In the case of Sam Shields, how much of his 2016 playing salary of $10M did he actually earn playing last year (set aside the debate of his health and future)? How much of the $3.125M of his dead cap this year and last years was earned by Sam? How much of Clay Matthews contract has he earned? Is Aaron Rodgers being fairly compensated? I get it, these are the kinds of contracts that have evolved in Sports like the NBA, NFL and MBL, I'm just not a fan of guys making way more than they have actually earned nor a fan of guys not getting paid as much as they should have been. IMO incentive based pay contracts would change that as well as the product we perceive and see on the field as well. [/QUOTE]
