Given the quality of life for many ex-NFL players, this might be a tender mercy.

It means you are gone a lot as an NFL player. I guess it's not baseball

A lot of people with really crappy jobs are gone a lot too

True, but they don't have the debilitating effects of a long NFL career either

But those people likely wouldn't continue working if they got a $10M+ bonus...

Ya honestly it is probably for the best, to leave the game.

he just got 16M guaranteed, so he'll get that plus a portion or all of this year

Isn't guaranteed money under the stipulation that you are on the roster? How
coug almighty
9/23/14 10:40am
Guaranteed is guaranteed. He will be paid for as long as he is still on the team
joehayes

Crap, how did he break his hip on that play? Was it not fully healed up?
