It was news to me as well, and if I wasn't so irritated when I read it, I
might have thought to include the article with my initial post. I also didn't
think to include Rapaport's initial reporting (he's with the NFL Network),
which appears to be this Tweet
No, reading that article, I think I agree with your interpretation, but as I
said, that's news to me. I suspect you may be right, and that it's related to
the fact that he's still on his rookie deal, but I wasn't aware of that, if
true. I'm cautiously standing corrected, but I'll look into it
My understanding is that most NFL contracts are not fully guaranteed. That

There was a similar situation with Ryan Shazier of the Steelers a few years
ago when he suffered a spinal injury also on a Monday night game in
Cincinnati. The Steelers kept him on the payroll for a couple of years even

Where did you hear that about salaries while on IR? That's not true, as I
