Thread: How ALL sports contracts should be written

You produce, you get paid...'nuff said!

Clarett was a joke at the combine, and still buys into the notion he could have gone into the 1st round.

Sounds like a Put up or Shut up deal to me,,,,Maybe more contracts should be based on how one playes and produces...

at the same time, you slack off or don't play well, your pocket will feel it also. Not just the team...

The twist is that Clarett insisted on this structure...at least he has the conviction in his abilities...RIGHT OR WRONG...I admire that...even if he falls on his face.

Congrats on the 2G, DV!!! :grin:

1G about football, 1G about hot women...perfect balance!

Thank you, thank you. Now it's a new chapter, a new begining, what will the next 1G be about??.. probably more of the same, lol.

Not a good deal for Clarett, if he goes down with a carear ending injury he'll be asking "do you want fries with that?" for the rest of his life---not that theres anything wrong with that. Also with these cheepass owners they could pull him if he was getting close to a big payout - as long as it did not effect the outcome of a big game or two. I think you need to gaurentee something and then load with incentives. Plus how dose Denver make sure they are under the cap?

That's a great idea for a contract, except NO other pro athlete except for the desperate maurice clarett would sign it.

they said that was his idea to come up with a contract like this.

well i guess he just wants to prove it how good he is. but you never know how good players will be by the combine. look at priest holmes he wasnt even drafted.
