Change the game for QBs, definitely.

Unless they kill the cap, all guaranteed money at this massive amount isn’t going to do much for the rest of the players other than lead down a road where most of them, outside of select superstars, will potentially have to sacrifice more and more while teams go nuts with these no way out QB deals.

They already do this for 1st round picks. I think you will it only see full guaranteed deals with qbs on second and third contracts tho

How is guaranteed contracts changing the NFL itself for the better though?

It'll change the NFLPA for the better, sure.

Way to put a white face on this when Revis did this years ago when he was a hired gun

I swear, you dudes all daping this fakenews because the dude I pointed out is white its tiresome AF.

Revis returning to Jets: 'I'm coming home'

The deal will pay him $48 million in the first three years, including $39 million in full guarantees, a source said. The first two years are guaranteed -- $16 million and $17 million, respectively. In 2017, $6 million of his $17 million salary is guaranteed.

Kirk is asking for, and most likely getting, a deal for ONLY 3 years (not 4 or 5 etc) of ONLY fully guaranteed money. THAT is a game changer for the NFLPA.

No, it isn't because it is only 3 years.

Imagine if players in the NFL actually got guaranteed contracts because of Kirk freaking Cousins????

It won't happen. And I wouldn't be surprised if the league and other owners come up with a creative solution to prevent this from becoming standard practice.

The Vikings are dumb anyways...I'm not even sure KC is capable of leading them to where Keenum got them last season. They could've saved approximately ~$10 M per year by just keeping him.

If Kirk was smart, he'd be using his leverage to negotiate a way to get a five or six year contract. I doubt his value will ever be this high again. There's a reason why marquee QBs aren't signing 2 or 3 year deals until they're in their late 30's...

If they change the dead cap space rule I'm all for it, but as it stands right now I couldn't imagine being fukked come free agency time because a player is taking up cap space that can't play anymore....
