Gotta disagree with the bold.

The issue with the other owners wasn't really the money, because you're right, plenty of other teams wanted him and if he plays well, the money is a non-issue. The way he has been playing, the money would be an issue no matter what he was being paid.

The problem the other owners had was the precedent it set. So yes, it would still be an issue.

But if it has not been done since so what precedent did it set? Sure, if there is another QB who at time appears to be a top flight NFL QB in his prime goes on the market and at least a half dozen teams are making offers it might take a fully guaranteed deal to get him, but otherwise........

I'm of the opinion that if you think a certain player is what your team needs to get a title or at least make a run for one, you do what you have to do to get them whether the other owners like it or not.

But, NFL owners apparently had an unwritten against fully guaranteed deals, so they weren't happy about it. To them, just because it hasn't happened since then, doesn't mean it won't start happening now that the door has been opened.
