Why did he sign that contract in 2024 if he thought it was bad? Like I said, the ink isn't even dry yet.
No offense, but this whole boomer shakes fist old man yells at clouds why’d he sign the contract schtick is way past its expiration date.
Teams will drop players like a bad habit & NFL contracts often aren’t worth the paper they’re printed on.
It’s time everyone got on board and stopped hating on players - especially the fringe guys who’ve been great team players and are playing for less $. If they have an opportunity to get a pay raise, let em try. It’s not your money, why die on this hill?
But players get a (often large) portion of that money guaranteed. Teams don't get any production guaranteed. They could end up paying all that money for absolutely nothing, whereas the players are guaranteed to get a nice chunk of change.
Like everything, it's a trade-off.
Players: Can't quit the deal, but get a guaranteed payday even if they don't ever produce
Teams: Can't get any guaranteed production, but can get out of the deal
Sometimes it ends up working out fairly and the production matches the deal. Sometimes the team comes out ahead, and gets more production than the deal is worth. Sometimes the player comes out ahead, and ends up getting more money than they earned for their production.
I would say the latter case is probably the most common.
