You are clearly the one that doesn't know shit here as every minute detail of his contract has been poured over by countless sources, and numerous articles written on the matter. Yet you actually think there might be some hidden "clause" that no one has seen yet, and base your entire argument on that fact. I have proven what I said was true, I have provided documentation to that fact, unless you can find any documentation to the contrary you might just be better served shutting the **** up. And you if do have such documentation, post it.No it is a roster bonus treated as a signing bonus for cap purposes. Whether it can be recouped has never been legally tested and it is obvious agents would say no because they represent players. You ask an NFL GM and they likely argue it is really a signing bonus hence the allocation over years and hence in a real world scenario it probably goes to arbitration. You are taking an agent's words as gospel ignoring his bias in favor of players.
A contract is valid after retirement if a team choses not to cut a player. I am not sure how you think contracts work. If you retire you are saying you have no intent to fulfil the terms. A team can retain your rights in the event you unretire or a team can release you in which case they dont retain your rights. That would in effect be a mutual agreement to end the contract because the player retires and the team said ok you are released from the contract. As long as both parties have agreed the contracr is over dummy.
I am not grasping at anything. It is clear voiding guarantees for retirement is possible but because it doesnt fit your stupid hypothetical you dont want to consider the possibility.
You dont know shit here. You are just regurgitating what an agent said and presuming a team is just going to blindly accept the agent's position. So you are trying to pass off the agent's knowledge as your own.
Perhaps you should run what I said by the agent as I suspect he would admit that this is his interpretation of how the law and CBA would be applied and there is still a risk he could be wrong because again it has never been legally tested. Most likely because your entire scenario is quite stupid. Again why would Rodgers do this again? You still havent answered that question.
Until then take your L and run along.

It is a roster bonus, end of story. Your arguments are getting more and more lame. Roster bonus's cannot be recouped, as per the CBA. That is why Aaron's team had it drawn up that way, you dolt.

Not the way it works, sorry. And if it did, so what? Aaron just does not retire, sits at home on his ass.

Not sure your point here, because in this event your using as an example, clearly the Packers would have not cut Aaron Rodgers when he was retired, rather in this instance, they are cutting him after he "un-retires". You are literally all over the place with your mindless argument. In this case the full force of the contract remains in place.
Again why would Rodgers do this again? You still havent answered that question.
I linked an article as to the why, there are others as well, feel free to read them
