Only a true degenerate v-gambler would bet on a game involving teams that no one has ever seen play. lol

We taking out time looking in different spots in Nashville burbs.
While you’re taking your time you may want to wait a little bit until some of these prices go down. People are getting over asking for their properties these days.

then your issue is with the CBA.....no need to make the factually incorrect statement a team is not honoring the contract when they release and don't pay a player (other than the guarantee).

Eh.. my issue is that people tend to hold it against a player when they hold out but don't see any problem with the team releasing him.

That's their only leverage since contracts are not guaranteed. Now someone like Watson holding out immediately after signing an extension is ridiculous. But in this case I can see it being warranted.

It's how it works. That's why when a player signs a big contract, one of the first questions asked is "How much is guaranteed?" because there's a solid chance that the guaranteed money is all the player will get.

What will be interesting to see is what effect the Browns fully guaranteeing DeShaun Watsons contract has. I can't remember anyone in the NFL getting a fully guaranteed deal before.

I wonder if players will start demanding that?

Yeah, it works both ways.
