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

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.

Pretty sure insurance kicks in only if the player cannot finish the term of the contract due to injury, usually career ending injuries.
I believe players are only paid during the season.
I wonder if they had agreed on a settlement, traded instead? Gilmore is vested so he could do what he wanted, so I dont know?
