BuffaloRebound Posted July 25, 2014 Share Posted July 25, 2014 Wasn't talking about that. I meant that the player options in these contracts in the last year jump up from their original deal. According to rotoworld, Spiller could make up to 12m if he took the player option and hit all his incentives. "8/6/2010: Signed a six-year, $39.3 million contract. The deal contains $20.8 million guaranteed. Another $12.5 million is available through incentives, roughly $12 million of which are available in the final year. Spiller is eligible for an annual $250,000 workout bonus throughout the contract's life. 2014: $1,748,750, 2015: $2,196,663 (Player Option), 2016: Free Agent" Thanks for the info. Didn't know these actually existed or ever heard of a player exercising it. I assume that was before the new CBA, where it seems like teams now have the option on the 5th year of rookie contracts.

Mike in Horseheads Posted July 25, 2014 Share Posted July 25, 2014 ...Most likely a topic on this but My question is how would all of us feel if Lynch pulled this on our team after the Byrd debacle. I wonder if he will a mysterious foot injury too if not resolved?

Kelly the Dog Posted July 26, 2014 Share Posted July 26, 2014 (edited) Pete Carroll is a very, very good if not great coach, and probably well liked by his players for the most part, but he's a slimeball. It's funny that he admonishes Lynch for not honoring a contract when he bolted on USC right before they were going to get crushed by the NCAA.

PromoTheRobot Posted July 26, 2014 Share Posted July 26, 2014 Paul Allen is cheap. Pay the man. I so done with that team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maddenboy Posted July 26, 2014 Share Posted July 26, 2014 Once the guaranteed money is paid, it essentially isn't a contract anymore. Seattle can walk away from it, but Lynch can't. Surprised players union hasn't pushed NFL to change this. Wait. Whoa. Are you saying you want the NFL to have guaranteed contracts? Like all the stupid sports not named Football? Paul Allen is cheap. Pay the man. I so done with that team. Nice. Just . . . nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fan in San Diego Posted July 26, 2014 Share Posted July 26, 2014 These guys should just do one year deals and then you get paid accordingly every year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
