Whether a contract is guaranteed is one of the terms left up to individual negotation with the players. The CBA doesn't require or prohibit guarantees.Does the CBA require that base year salaries are not guaranteed or is it merely allowed?
I think that's where the 30% rule comes into play. For 2007 and beyond, in the absence of a salary cap, a player's salary can't increase by more than 30% over the previous year.If a team can guarantee a salary, why can't the Redskins or another wealthy team simply guarantee some high uncapped 2007 salary in return for restructuring a current contract and get under the 2006 cap?
