I get it. But teams are never withholding guaranteed money. In fact that guaranteed money was put into escrow on day 1 when the contract was signed in the first place.
Football is such a tough sport to play precisely because of the wear and tear and way contracts are structured. I don’t begrudge anyone for seeking out as much money as they can get as these guys earn it.
