The salary cap system and later on the slotted rookie contract systems were put in place to maintain some even conditions for teams, so that all teams may be able to enjoy some semblance of competitive balance. I honestly expect the issue of fully guaranteed contracts to be an item of huge contention in Owners meetings and CBA negotiations going forward.
Yeah, I cannot think of anywhere else in the world where a business contract if fully guaranteed if one party is unable to fulfill it's part.
