If and When Jake signs with someone else

[DaveThePanther2008]

Are we off the hook for the money we owe him?

[Zod]

Nope. We owe him 12 mill regardless.

[DaveThePanther2008]

Damn I was hoping you weren't gonna say yes.

You know like enlistment contracts. No matter how much time you have left once you sign those new papers Your time starts over.

Thanks

Actually whatever the new team signs him for will be deducted from what we owe him. So if he goes to the Bills for 1.5 million, we only owe Jake 10.5 million. Oh first post. Hi everyone.

Jake is retiring or playing for free so we still owe him.

Wrong. He is a player, not a coach. Guaranteed money is, by definition, guaranteed.

I just watched this on NFL network. He gets the money either way, but we aren't responsible for paying all of it if he's signed by someone else. Take it up with the boys behind the desk on Total Access. They said it.

Nope, He gets the 12.5 and then whatever the other team pays him. Wyche might have said that but he is wrong the way Jakes contract was setup there is no offset.

Yep, he gets it all. And believe me, we are going to regret letting him go for more than just the money.

Steve Lombardi (an ex-GM) on the NFLN said Delhomme gets to keep the 12 million + whatever his new team pays him.

How so?

How so?

No more of his funny Bojangles commercials.

Actually, yesterday when they were going over all the FA happenings, I heard Lombardi say that he doesn't really understand why we let him go since we'll have to pay him so much anyway. He then added that "even though they'll get whatever the new team signs him for credited back to them", it's still too much money to pay someone not to play.
