There's no reason to lock out. The guaranteed portion of the contract is negotiable just like the length of the contract, total value, signing bonus etc
There will be teams that will offer ridiculous guaranteed deals, but it's not setting precedent
Kirk Cousins deal didnt get Mahomes a 100% guaranteed deal
I know. I just meant if the NFLPA went to the mattresses over fully guaranteed contracts, the owners would, too, because they’ve been against it from the jump.
The hated the Cousins contract, but it was an aberration for a mid tier QB. If Lamar gets a fully guaranteed contract, it’s normalize the nonsense Cleveland did with the Watson contract.
Trust me, if Trevor Lawrence or Justin Herbert want that same Watson contract, the reaction is gonna be the same.
It’s not a racial thing, it’s not even a running QB thing. It’s about turning the precedent of the Watson contract into an aberration and not a new paradigm for franchise QB contracts thing.
