What are you all talking about contracts aren't guaranteed, they have guaranteed contracts.
Its up to the players to negotiate the type (there is more than just 1 type of guarantee) and amount of guarantee.
It's no ones fault but their own if the max out total contract dollars at the expense of guaranteed contract dollars. These guys are all fully capable of negotiating 100% guaranteed contracts.
Wouldn't it be nice if we lived in world where Albert Haynesworth got to collect all $100 million even though he stopped trying altogether and sucked like gravel through a straw? No.

there is guaranteed money in a contract but the whole contracts are never fully paid is that better for you
lol at no ones fault but their own. those with the checks have the power you can't make them pay you
lol at referencing any contract snyder and the redskins gave

Kam was hella happy when he signed that contract at the time, there's like three years left in the contract lol I'm sorry but just because he decided to sign the contract which he thought was GREAT doesn't mean he should get more money now just because he feels like he deserves money. That's on him for signing a deal before everyone else like Sherman and Earl. That's all on Kam and his agent, not the Seahawks. If he had a year left on his contract maybe that would be different but he doesn't.
Also btw this dude is the 7th highest paid safety in the game. Only thing he did was fuck up his guaranteed money and whose fault is that? Fucking fire your agent if thats the case.

I probably should be.
The incentives are all wrong for an agent. They don't have a players best interest in mind. Same thing happens in real estate.
As an agent on behalf of your player (client) would your rather:
1 - Accept a $10 million dollar deal after 1 week of negotiation
2 - Accept a $12 million dollar deal after 3 months of negotiation
Most people would say option 2 because although its 2 million dollar difference for your client, the agent only stands to make an additional $80,000 by doing 12 times more work.
The way the agent sees it is:
1 - Work 40 hours and earn $400,000
2 - Work 250 hours and earn $480,000
The incremental cost to earn that extra $80,000 incentives the agent to take the easier option.
