Guaranteed contracts aren't going away. JJM's is wholly guaranteed, something they've never done before. Guys get hurt in the NFL, teams have bad offensive lines, some organizations are garbage. If you are a 1st round NFL drafted QB, I don't blame any agent for saying, 'why wouldn't you guarantee it all?'.

One reason they may be reluctant to guarantee it all is the player after getting paid may turn into a knucklehead and think they are invincible off the field.  Do something stupid that puts their life or the lives of others in jeopardy like maybe driving 100 in a 55 or I don't know driving after being at the bar late at night.


Not for 1st round QBs they won't.....
