[QUOTE="Deleted member 6794, post: 910390"] Montana still played in the 1994 season with the Chiefs but lost twice to the Chargers that season with the team scoring a combined 19 points in those games. You were the one who brought up that the players have the upper hand based on receiving money upfront to sign with a team. You're right that most players receive some guarantees to sign with a team but once again we're not talking about a significant amount of money in most cases. While I didn't mention that in my first post I expected it to be obvious that we weren't talking about the peanuts being paid to undrafted free agents. I agree that most people would be happy if offered upfront money but you have to realize that there are only 2,880 jobs available in the NFL with extremely limited personnel ressources available. It should come as no surprise that teams having to compete for the players' services hand out guarantees while the coffee shop around the corner isn't in need of doing the same with unlimited options to choose from. Money actually paid to a player will count against the cap at some point. Salaries and bonuses not guaranteed in a contract won't end up doing so if the team moves on from a player though. [/QUOTE]
