ProFootballTalk : declared in Guaranteed contracts for NFL players would lead to shorter contracts

So, basically, the adoption of fully-guaranteed contracts for all NFL players would result in, for most players, shorter contracts. Before doing that, remember this: One finite slice of NFL contracts has become fully or mostly guaranteed. Regardless, that's the most likely consequence of fully-guaranteed contracts — shorter deals and, in turn, more opportunities for players to sign new ones. Posted by Mike Florio on July 8, 2017, 7:17 AM EDTThe annual NBA free agency period has renewed calls for fully-guaranteed contracts in the NFL. If, as a practical matter, the NFL were ever to commit to fully-guaranteed contracts on an across-the-board basis, few contracts would be longer than two or three years in duration.


Bucs join NFL players jealous of 'NBA money'

He retweeted NFL player Terrance Knighton, who wrote: "I'm not saying NBA players should make less. NBA teams have much smaller rosters -- 15 players instead of 53 -- and play an 82-game season instead of 16 as the NFL plays, but their huge contracts can make even well-paid NFL players feel lacking. Just that NFL players should be making more." Baker is hardly the first NFL player to notice the lucrative NBA deals -- Bucs linebacker Lavonte David also tweeted Saturday that "I'm here when y'all ready NBA," with a shrugging emoji, and Bucs rookie tight end O.J. It's become an annual rite of summer -- ridiculously huge NBA contracts handed out in free agency reminding NFL players that their contracts aren't fully guaranteed and aren't as ridiculously huge as their basketball counterparts.

NFL players will get better deals only by missing game checks
And then, a few years from now, maybe NBA players will be complaining during March about all the money NFL players are making in free agency. Posted by Mike Florio on July 8, 2017, 6:42 PM EDTAs NBA free agency continues, NFL players continue to gripe about how much more money NBA players make. That's far easier said than done, for one very significant reason: NFL players don't want to miss game checks. So if NFL players want more money, they need to cut a better deal. Ever since the failed strike of 1987, a sense has lingered that NFL players won't sacrifice money and the ability to play football to improve the broader financial circumstances for themselves and, ultimately, for the next generation of NFL players.
