There's not a real practical distinction given the ability of players to get signing bonuses that ARE guaranteed and then are pro-rated over the cap. Teams already aware partial guarantees or guarantee X number of years of salary as it stands. This won't be the market shifter they think it will, IMO. And it would make teams a hell of a lot more risk-averse. It could easily backfire on them.

I mean wouldn't the owners still win even if guaranteed contracts were the only option? Owners would simply adapt and never hand out long-term deals. The length of each contract would shorten to avoid getting ****ed over by potential injuries. Every player would basically be playing contract to contract, almost like they are on a 1-2 year franchise tag outside of QBs.

I think the simple solution to fully guaranteed contracts is that an injured player’s cap hit is void for the games missed.
If a player misses 8 games, the team still has to pay him but the cap hit is only half. Think of our Albatross, Eric Berry. We would still pay him but the cap would have been adjusted to allow us to get a replacement. I’m sure there are holes in my idea, but it’s a start. |

So Antonio Brown is pulling a Terrell Owens. Go to a team, sign a contract ... become a distract to force your way out, sign a new contract. It's going to cost Owens a place in the HOF. Hopefully it will cost Brown the same.
Before all the Pro-player fans around here start cheering, do you like that Houston and Berry might be doing the same in KC? |

It will be interesting to see this all play out with the guaranteed contract situation.
I am not sure how contracts would actually go down as the owners will still have a spending floor requirements. Is this where the teams get expanded and we go to 18 game regular seasons?

Point taken, he did get in eventually. The distraction everyone talks about when keeping Owen out is because of all the contract double-dipping he did. They just don't say it.
