I'm not worried about this, just because the Texans did it doesn't mean the whole league will

If the whole league doesn't do it, it creates more of a problem, because there is no way some other's won't follow suit.

Once a handful of teams start to do it, all agents are going to start demanding it and we're going to see more 2nd round holdouts than ever, and they rarely did before this.

Things like this are only going to become an inevitability over time anyways. NIL has opened the door for it and honestly I don't blame these young players one bit. This money is a drop in the bucket compared to profits the league makes. No pity party for the owners here.

The only thing I'd say in relation to the Panthers is going forward we better start drafting well because if you're going to get held over a barrel by a draft pick they better damn well not end up being a bust.

Could be wrong but I'd think it would make injury risks like Brooks undraftable.

Again, it's not about billionaires coughing up their money, guaranteed contracts wouldn't cots a penny more out of the owners pockets as teams have to spend their cap room every season.  The only times they don't spend it all, it's to roll it over into the next year to spend more than the cap, so they're still spending the same amount of money in the end.

Fully guaranteed contracts for all players wouldn't work in the NFL

Not having them actually works to the benefit of both teams and players, as it's how teams manage the cap and it allows players to get to re-negotiate new guaranteed money faster.

Plus, with how often those role players get churned through because they show flashes but don't pan out, would really limit how much teams would be willing to spend on them and give more than 1 or 2 year contracts.  It would create even more of an unbalanced pay structure to where the stars would make even more of a percentage of the cap than they already do.

To be honest I don't know enough on how the NFL CAP structure works as far as how much Salary vs Singing bonus goes and how much comes from the team owners purse. Maybe there just shouldnt be a CAP i dont know. 

I just know players only getting 51% and owners 49% is imbalanced and I want these young guys to make as much money as possible considering what they put there mind and body through for our viewing pleasure. 

Major other sports leagues have figured in out so I get what your saying. I am just saying fug the owners and Goodell making 60 mil a year when these guys are the ones putting it on the line, that's probably the most socialistic view I have in my life so it is what it is........

Its crazy football is the most risky to your health but doesn't have guaranteed contracts.  Baseball is is the easiest on your body and you get stuff like this... https://www.espn.com/mlb/story/_/id/40430232/bobby-bonilla-day-2024-new-york-mets-pay-119-million-every-july-1-ohtani-contract-deferred-money

I get the shock of them not following the norm but not at the outcome. The rookie wage scale still dictates how much and given how small it is outside of the first so what? I'm fine with the rookies all getting guaranteed contracts since they already did it to the more expensive ones in the first. The players honestly dropped that ball in negotiations. The cap keeps going up, ridiculous contracts for guys who aren't even great go up and ticket prices keep going up so I don't really care.

This means little to nothing. That 8 or 900,000 over 4 years isn't changing anything about decisions. Rather irrelevant 

Ladd McConkey was the 34th pick last year. His contract was 92% guaranteed.

Contract Value: $9,995,186 

Fully Guaranteed Money: $9,185,943

ngl, I like the idea of rookie contracts being guaranteed. It's not like the kids are able to negotiate with anybody else.

idk enough about the finances and accounting tricks to give any type of expert opinion, but that's never stopped anyone here before 😛

    • These are the three deep throw attempts that Will Levis made in week 12. His first one is a beauty; Levis and Westbrook-Ikhine gets the safety to bite on a deep dig only to go over the top for the score. His second throw is another beauty: a crosser to Calvin Ridley reminiscent of Bryce to XL (though Ridley has noticeably more separation on his route). His third and final deep shot was an incompletion from his own endzone on 3rd & 14 with pressure coming down on him (to me, this seems like a solid throw).   Film Room Playlist NFL Pro-02.mp4 Film Room Playlist NFL Pro-01.mp4 Film Room Playlist NFL Pro.mp4 Film Room Playlist NFL Pro-01.mp4 Levis took half of the deep shots that Young did. The differences are: Ridley had much better separation than XL, which is why his deep crosser turned into a 63yd play since he was able to scamper for another 15+ after the catch. Westbrook-Ikhine holds on to his TD pass. Bryce had to throw one away to preserve time for a field goal. Bryce had two more throws that were incomplete due to the WR Are we really holding the three WR errors and clock management decision against Bryce in order to say that Will was better throwing deep in week 12? That's not passing the eye test nor is it confirmed by the data.
    • If you go on the PUP list before the season starts, you are gone for the year. If you start the year on the PUP list then you can get off of it. Kind of semantics, but we are putting him on the PUP list now which is before week 1, that’s why people who come off of it aren’t really on the PUP list until week 1, hence you usually hear right before the season that they are “starting the year” on the PUP list. I think PUP list and IR may basically be the serve the same purpose now because you also sometimes hear that if a player is added to the IR before week 1 that they aren’t eligible to come off the IR list for the entire year. Now, everyone added to IR (post week 1) can come off after 4 (or more) games so the PUP list is meaningless since it’s 6 games and starts at week 1. Anyone added to PUP or IR in the preseason is gone for the year.
    • I saw Brooks maybe a few weeks ago, he was walking pretty normally. of course he wasnt running, jumping and cutting.
