Kravy sides with the players

As do I

If a baseball player signs a five-year deal, he can hit an anemic .234 in the third year and not have to worry about being cast asunder.

That’s not the case in football, where players always are one serious injury away from being gone.

One of the things that makes the NFL great for fans is that there aren’t guaranteed contracts. One of the things that makes the NFL player the least secure and most underpaid athlete in major American sports is the lack of guaranteed contracts.

When it comes to money, management has the hammer and players are the nail. The only thing guaranteed is the signing bonus up front. Beyond that, nothing.
