i'd imagine this time it's true though.  no owner wants to pay guaranteed contracts.  especially HUGE numbers like Watson got.

EVery contract is guaranteed to a point. Watsons just happens to be guaranteed over the full life of the contract. Calling NFL deals non guaranteed is a bit misleading. Plus in Jackson’s case you have to cough up two firsts.

NFLPA and Smith himself have said it too. Ol' boys club have been sued for it a few times over the years, it's really not that outlandish.

not really sure why the NFLPA is so focused on looking out for the top 1% of players with the guarantee contract.  The pot that gets paid out to players is the same no matter how it's broken up among the players.   more guaranteed contracts just means the vast majority of other players get less money.

Even in a trade?

Raise the bar.
Same reason the MLBPA didn’t want ARod to sign his deal with the Red Sox years ago.

If Jackson is traded he’s getting a new deal.

Obviously, but that’s not what I asked you. Can’t the Ravens agree to a trade for less than two #1 picks if they want?

It would be better than having him sit out a season and they get nothing.
