What would you do? Fully guaranteed contract but you wanna go back to college without losing the bag.

Lets say you had the narcissistic behavior to con a billionaire into giving you fully guaranteed money over 7 years but you realize that college was way better and had way less "meanies" than the NFL after a year and half in your new job, what would you do to get back to college while still keeping your fully guaranteed money (with the assumption intentional point shaving/sabotaging or quitting are the only thing that would take your guaranteed money away)?

 

just a quick thought experiment.

Probably would get most of your future years money clawed back through the legal system so that wouldn't work.

Yea I'm just joking.  The only real answer is to try and get fired for performance reasons.  Because other than that, the only way out (where you keep all the money) is going to be some big time school buying out his contract.  And I'm just not sure that's going to happen.

Yep NFL is notorious for taking guaranteed money for "conduct detrimental to the team." I think we're all familiar with Antonio Brown, one of the most recent example of someone with a guaranteed contract losing his money.

More specifically and more recently, Urban Meyer lost his guaranteed money as well: https://bleacherreport.com/articles/10021237-report-urban-meyer-fired-for-cause-by-jaguars-wont-be-paid-rest-of-contract#:~:text=Financial details of the five,Jacksonville was an unmitigated failure.

Looks like Urban got Rhule's same deal except for 5 years at 60 Mill instead of Rhules 7 years at 60 Mill.

I’d go be happy.  Unless Rhule is idiotic.  The difference in salary shouldn’t really impact him at this point.  

if he goes back to college and only makes a measly 4-5 million a year he and his family would be just fine.  And that’s assuming he can’t land a big time college job coming out of the NFL. 

If I was Rhule I wouldn’t say too long in the NFL and hurt my stock too much more.  You can come in and get out quick and just cite the different game and people.   But stay too long and you can just be exposed as a clown.  And he isn’t far.

      Can we get to 9-8?

      By Mike2.0 · Posted

      A winning record would be nice, but I still have us winning around the 6 to 8 game mark. Realistically we should beat the Jets and Saints, that gets us to 5 wins. After that, we have to face a lot of potential play off teams and our divisional opponents. I think we’ll win 1 or 2 of those games to take us to 6 or 7 wins, perhaps 8 wins if we can spring a further surprise.  Is that enough progress for head coach and QB? I’m not sure, it will depend on performances and output. That said, it’s nice to be back in a position where we are thinking about the play offs.

      Eight of Bryce Young's nine wins have come off game-winning drives

      By Mike2.0 · Posted

      I would tend to agree about not falling into the trap and paying a below average QB, but sometimes situations can “force” a team to pay that QB. For example, if we play ourselves into a 9-8 like record, then what options will we have in the draft? Or do we avoid the draft and trade for or sign someone in free agency?  I’m not convinced by the 2026 QB draft class. There’s some intriguing prospects but no one that really screams “draft me”. I’m not sure we’ve got anyone really that stands out as a trade candidate or free agent signing. So although we might not want to commit a big money contract to Young, him playing well and showing progress might force the team’s hand.

      Trade Chuba?

      By Mike2.0 · Posted

      Realistically we would be looking at no more than a mid round pick for Dowdle or Chuba. Are we really that desperate for a mid round pick? Not really. I would much prefer us utilise the two RBs in a 1-2 punch similar to how we used D-Will and Stewart. After all, Bryce is not Drew Brees. He won’t throw for 300+ yards and carry the team consistently as a passer. So having a strong running game with a 1-2 punch will be beneficial to him, and it will also be beneficial to the RBs because we can spell them and not overwork them.
