I could be wrong, but isn't an injury settlement for an injury that happened in that ongoing season?

Otherwise there'd be no point in contracts having "guarantees for injury".

Quote:Players can have a guarantee clause in their deals which assures them of receiving X amount of money when they are hurt. They will have this protection if they suffer “football-related injuries”. The CBA makes sure that the club is obliged to pay the players while they are doing rehab for their injury, and provide salary continuation for the year in which the injury was sustained.

The link also talks about Stephon Gilmore who was going to get released by the Patriots while still recovering from quad surgery he got in December of the previous season.

Quote:Gilmore, 31, was eligible to come off the physically unable to perform list after Week 6, and the market for the 2019 NFL Defensive Player of the Year is expected to be robust. Multiple teams are expected to be interested, and Gilmore should be recovered from his quad injury in the coming weeks.
