I’m tired of injuries being used as excuses. It’s a 100% optional game. You know the risk when you sign up.

You write it very plainly, "it's a 100% optional game."
Roquan is exercising that option.

Also it appears to be 10% of snaps and improvement in 6 offensive categories which would be NLTBE
Ahhh, that is not how I understood it. I thought the two were separate. I don't think anyone really knows right now, and they are all taking guess's. Be interesting to see how it unfolds.

Great so guarantee contracts then. The reason they don't guarantee contracts in the NFL like all other major professional sports leagues is because of the incredible risk of injury. There is a reason you don't see holdouts in Baseball or Basketball really ie because the contracts are guaranteed. So no don't think it is fair for NFL teams to protect themselves against the injury or underperformance risk but then cry when players want security against injuries.

Well just to clarify it is one of 6 categories not all of them but year PFF and OTC have Reiff at 3m cap hit this year so appears all of it is NLTBE.

I think its early to try gleaming contract details out of the semantic structure of a 280 character tweet. Its a smart contract structure if the guesses are right though and good negotiating if they got Reiff to agree to that much NLTBE incentives even if they are likely to be hit (but not LTBE!).

Interesting, I find it hard to believe, but if true he is a steal at that price.

NFL players had their chance. ?
Do a better job at negotiating next time then. Also he’s guaranteed almost 10 mil this year. So let’s not act like star players don’t get guarantees.

Holy shit if we can get Darden without having had to draft him. He is going to be a good possession receiver.

No they also have the chance to use whatever leverage they can in negotiations so long as they are prepared to live with the consequences. It is not for you to try and tell them to restrict themselves to negotiating in a manner that benefits you or the team.
And don't be silly, we all know rookie contracts are fully guaranteed but all other contracts are not unless you sexually assault 24 women.
Edit - My bad, maybe be closer to 30 now.

To be fair, that is the only thing he has been above average at in the NFL.

Probably more like Cliff fucking Stein. No idea why Pace took him off of cap management.

You are complaining about players wanting to guard against injury but then ignoring the fact NFL teams do so as well by not having contracts fully guaranteed. A bit of a double standard.
