Guaranteed contracts absolutely should happen. Owners already get years of cheap, below market value service from rookie contracts, they have a fixed salary cap and two years of franchise tags to help hold salaries down and they get to keep players who vastly overperform their contracts. Yet if players get hurt or underperform, owners get to cut them while still keeping some of the money.Gregg Rosenthal is wrong. Guaranteed contracts like the Watson deal should not happen. It's not a good think that they happen. Especially for people like Watson. I understand where Lamar is coming from, but the Ravens FOSHOULD NOTfully guarantee a huge deal. It is pretty much the same amount of guarantee earned if they half guarantee the first 3 years and fully guarantee the last.
It would only be fair for players to at least get the full amount they signed for, like they do in every other sport.
