‘In an NFL world where contracts aren’t guaranteed, it makes parting ways with certain players under contract that much easier, with only slight monetary ramifications for most. When you see long-term deals signed, usually two or three years into the contract you’ll see large roster bonuses that spur action for the teams. It’s usually a case of either cutting your losses right then and there if a team didn’t get the desired production, or they move on with that player on the roster.’
