I know what you saying, but the media is blowing this up, and we don't even know if he was even their, they taking him because he is young and he was friends with Odin Lloyd. If they wanted him that bad they shouldn't got him last week, but they try to play it cool so they can be on tv and ish.

Ummmmm.

Wow.

Just... wow.

NFLN was reporting yesterday that for some weird reason (cock-up) the standard "unable to perform" or whatever it's called clause was not written into Hernandez's contract. So regardless of whether he was arrested or not he still gets his $2.5M over 2 years. Suck it Pats!

 

 

Rotoworld and NFLN obviously not on the same page regarding Hernandez's contract.

article from NFL.com with info I'm referring to:

http://www.nfl.com/news/story/0ap1000000213873/article/examining-aaron-hernandezs-new-england-patriots-contract

 


In almost all situations, when an NFL player is suspended, he forfeits all of the future guarantees in his contract. Even if a signing bonus or base salary is guaranteed for skill, injury and salary cap, a "failure to perform" or "failure to practice" clause makes those guarantees null and void.

In a surprising twist, this appears not to be the case with the five-year, $40-million extension signed by New England Patriots tight end Aaron Hernandez in August of 2012. Upon close reading of his contract language -- and after confirming the development with an expert -- the "failure to perform" or "failure to practice" clause that appears in similar Patriots extensions is not present. This means Hernandez might be able to keep nearly $2.5 million of the deal, even if legal troubles prevented him from taking the field...

Some of you are freaking clueless. As soon as they handcuffed him he would have been charged. They would have informed him of what he was being charged with at that point. Just because we haven't heard through the news what the official charges are, doesn't mean that he hasn't been charged.

If anyone knows, its you. Lol
