Yes you do have to pay guaranteed money to someone sitting in jail, unless the contract says you don't. If it says you do, or doesn't specifically address it... I mean it's the Browns, so who knows. Being a little facetious there, I'm pretty sure there's the standard language regarding that kind of stuff, meaning they wouldn't if Watson ends up arrested on serious charges, but again it's the Browns

Nah this is actually pretty specific in the CBA

Section 9. Forfeiture of Salary: Players and Clubs may not agree upon contract provi-
sions that authorize the Club to obtain a forfeiture of any Salary from a player except to
the extent and in the circumstances provided in this Section 9. For the avoidance of doubt,
Paragraph 5 Salary already earned may never be forfeited, and other Salary already earned
may never be forfeited except as expressly provided herein. The maximum permitted for-
feitures described below do not in any way obligate any player or Club to agree to any
forfeiture.
(a) Forfeitable Breach. Any player who (i) willfully fails to report, practice
or play with the result that the player’s ability to fully participate and contribute to the team
is substantially undermined (for example, without limitation, holding out or leaving the
squad absent a showing of extreme personal hardship); or (ii) is unavailable to the team
due to conduct by him that results in his incarceration; or (iii) is unavailable to the team
due to a nonfootball injury that resulted from a material breach of Paragraph 3 of his NFL
Player Contract; or (iv) voluntarily retires (collectively, any “Forfeitable Breach”) may be
required to forfeit signing bonus, roster bonus, option bonus and/or reporting bonus, and
no other Salary, for each League Year in which a Forfeitable Breach occurs (collectively,
“Forfeitable Salary Allocations”), as set forth below:

Paragraph 5 salary here is like fifth year option and tag and I think that's it.
 
I just noticed the 49er's/Chiefs game is right after the Chiefs' bye week. There's no way that wasn't done on purpose. I didn't expect us to win anyways but come on. They don't even have a tough schedule after that either.

listen I'm not trying to be a hater but you are one of the last franchises to whine about the NFL showing favoritism.
The only NFC teams Goodell would rather see in the Super Bowl year after year, if he had his way, are the Cowboys and Rams.

You know, if Barkley ends up at the Super Bowl and wins with the Eagles, then I'm honestly going to be more happy for Barkley than I will be pissed about the Eagles winning another Super Bowl.

you left out wining SB MVP. :story:

Also:

The crying for Rosenhaus made me laugh.

This asshole is trying to invade crapaernik's turf. Take a surgical repaired knee!


All the bruthas calling him out on you tube.

Fair enough as far as favoritism is concerned, we've got a big ass fanbase that Goodell would love to milk money from. But it still really sucks being born right after your franchise's glory years end and coming really close to winning a bunch of times the past five years but not being able to manage it.

That would seriously make me even happier for him.

I love Barkley and respect the hell outta him. His departure from NY is all on the Giants, not him.

Oh I agree but you know how some NY fans are. They would meltdown if all that happened for him.

The frustration is understandable. Just once in my life I'd like to see the Chargers win one, considering their one SB appearance was months before I was born.

Some are still living in Lala Land. The majority of NY fans are totally pissed at their own organization right now, especially after the debacle that was Sunday's game. lol.

The GM who made the decision to let Barkley go is SO gone after this season, lmao. And he's going to go down in history as one of the biggest laughing stocks in NFL history. Keeping Daniel Jones over Saquon Barkley ... Literally WAT.

I saw the Hard Knocks documentary, by the way. As interesting as it was to watch, it did not hype me up as a fan for the Giants' immediate future. The docuseries tried to fluff up the GM's personal life to make him more likable (yeah, I get it: he has a family) ... But I was not impressed with his whole approach whatsoever. Even John Mara appeared to not be confident about him in the docuseries.

And people laughed at the Chargers for taking Joe Alt so early. Joe Alt vs Maxx Crosby and Christian Wilkins for a total of 19 pass blocking snaps with 0 pressures allowed. I thank you man with a neck the size of my thigh.

A bit late. Lions fan here. Really impressed with what I saw. Less than stellar game from Goff and ARSB, but the physicality of team and a retooled secondary helped (not without its mistakes, though). Truly the first time in my lifetime I've felt optimistic about this team week to week. The 2016 Lions were a fun team that managed a lot of 4th Quarter comebacks, but they were an absolute pain to watch. This team this year has the chance to make the history books.
 
Best thing about this season so far is that running the football is back and they're stealing everything from Kevin DeBoer.

Putting your lead blocker in motion before running a counter works out pretty well, doesn't it

This years Lions team is the most complete team they've ever fielded. They might even be the most complete team in the NFL if the rookies and 2nd year players pan out well. Our offense is certainly one of the deepest in the league especially if Jamo continues his breakout this year. I really think this could be the year. True and honest. If not this year we have 2 more years with our core players (other than hutch) under contract.

The Lions have actually been fun to watch recently.

I always enjoy watching an underdog team that plays and competes hard. The Lions have some real fight in them right now!

Not surprised, but hate to see it.

Nah fuck that shit. You shouldnt have to felate a cop to avoid eating concrete and being put in handcuffs. Just like Tyreek could have avoided this if he werent acting like a dumb nigger, the cops could have avoided this too by just giving him the ticket like they should have (and like he asked for). Instead the dumb beaner wetback spic pigs (who sounded like they were fresh off the boat from cuba btw) got their fee fees hurt and decided to show the dumb nigger whos boss. The same shit happened to a golfer, Scottie Scheffler earlier this summer too.

The police seem to have taken the idea of "everyone needs to be treated equally under the law" and taken that to mean that EVERYONE gets police brutality now instead of just doing it to black or brown people.


Appologies for the political sperging
