Look at the list of potential defaults... "discipline issue", "being fined"... so being 15 minutes late for a single meeting (once any time over a 4 year span) is a "discipline issue" and would then void $15m guaranteed. Putting your weight on a QB when sacking them or accidentally getting some facemask with your hand is a fineable penalty, voiding $15m guaranteed. Hell, "morals clause" is just a loose and nonsensically wide criteria that a tweet or instagram post can be used if you're legally enjoying the offseason with some alcohol and unmarried women in bikinis.
"Lets be honest"... if they weren't wanting the ability to take away guaranteed money off ticky-tack BS, they wouldn't include ticky-tack BS as a trigger. Why the hell would you give a billionaire the ability to snatch away all of your guaranteed money with only a "trust us bro" as the only thing keeping them from doing it?
He IS acting like an adult and knows it's a business. That's why you don't willingly give away all power and leverage over your money to someone else who would love nothing more than to find a reason to not have to pay you. It's a business, so get your money guaranteed and don't give anyone an opening to take it from you.
100% correct. Just amazing how shallow posters can be. They've never done this before and probably allowing what Burton did a season ago determine future protocol. Shitty but typical move by this franchise.
