The broad discretion that groups must have when a player suffers a serious outdoor injury will be exercised based on a variety of factors: the more vital the player is, the more valuable it is for the ongoing effort to win matches and pursue championships, most likely to be paid, even if he has technically wasted his ability to do so. The less vital the player, especially in what has been paid to him and/or will be paid, the more likely he will get nothing.
To face Ja’Wuan James, the Broncos chose to take the “possibly you wouldn’t get anything” approach. They paid James $17 million in 2019 and played only three games. He then retired last year because of the pandemic. not counting against him, in theory, but he is very unlikely to expect to forget it completely by assessing the consequences of his off-site injury).
Then, after a year without football, James began education on the team’s premises. He would then have left on the advice of the NFL Players Association. Although the team gave him and other “voluntary options” for off-team educational regimes, the communication made it clear that the team is not guilty of outdoor injuries on the premises.
And so James suffered a serious injury. And the Broncos, all points taken into account, made the decision not to put James on the roster and pay his salary by 2021 even to break ties with a player who, without the off-site injury, would have earned more than $10 million in 2021, with that money guaranteed by skills, injuries and the cap.
According to a source familiar with the situation, the Broncos do not have to cancel the remaining promises of their contract (this year’s $10 million plus a $5 million injury secured by 2022). Instead, the Broncos relied on undeniable perception (as the Ravens did last year with Earl Thomas) that the guarantee of skill, injury and cap does not cover an injury outside the doors of work.
The next question is whether the Broncos will pay the $3 million signing bonus allowance that applies to the 2021 season. Given the way Segment 4, Section Nine of the CBA, was drafted, it will be difficult for the Broncos. of the signing premium applicable to a given year, there will first have to be an “irrevocable violation”, as well as a continuous violation until the end of a given season. By cutting James before an “irrevocable violation” makes James lose at least six days of education camp, the right to one of the 2021 signing bonds is never assumed.
The Broncos can simply argue that the nature of the injury (Achilles tear at last) necessarily means that unrecoverable violations would have occurred at the end of the normal season. James would respond by saying it doesn’t matter; The team cut him before his inability to exercise led James to dedicate the kind of gap waste that allows him to recover the signing bonus, so the team can’t take anything.
In other words, James would probably not be treated to any other player who would be cut with bonus bills for signing remaining un won in his contract. The player helps keep that money.
The Broncos may have kept James on the non-football injury list throughout 2021, allowing the “lost offenses” to continue and then looking for the $3 million. We don’t know why they decided to eliminate him now. Maybe they just didn’t have to face a public relations refusal imaginable for refusing to pay James his weekly salary once the normal season began. You may not need it on the premises while recovering from your injury, which serves as a constant reminder to the team. The rest of the list the Broncos have chosen to stay with James. Maybe they just need to stay in the union forcing James to pay for his own rehab.
Anyway, even if James probably keeps the general bonus for signing paid in 2019, he gets nothing else. This serves as a reminder to all players that “totally guaranteed” cash is not. It is guaranteed only by skills, salary cap and injuries suffered in construction or in the field.
The Broncos didn’t release James for his skills, salary cap or injury. The $10 million is evaporating.
But what about the concept that James will exercise his right to combat this outcome?I have the right to fight Mike Tyson, which would then give him the right to fight me with blood.
Well, that’s why we have unions. Collect some of the cash owed to the union and its member.
I said Slater had been written before this guy got hurt because he wanted to be released after this year anyway.
Maybe next time, exercise at the equipment facility and put all the tension and risk.
This Bronco fan has no pity for Mr. James, milked the broncos for several million and played only a few games, he can sue the union if he necessarily wants to encourage him to stay home and train. who are putting him in danger.
I will go to my grave astonished by the weakness of NFLPA How they can continue to settle for 10-year labor agreements that do not come with contracts guaranteed 100 percent, and strike if necessary, like the rest of the professional sport, is a mystery to me.
I like this analogy with Mike Tyson, which applies to many conditions in which other people have to make a decision on the exercise of their rights.
Pretty disgusting. If you’re talented, I’m sure you’ll be hired as part of a rehab contract somewhere, but at the end of the day, if collective bargaining allows it, there’s so much more to say. I hope that’s resolved any time, soon.
So he did what the union suggested. I see the union as something. Both the manager and the agent, they know those things
In the last two years, he has won $17 million and played 3 games!Pretty smart money, I’d say, most people would live the rest of their lives with that money!I bet he’s not this guy.
The union is weak for a number of reasons. The most important thing is probably that the players are no longer in the league in a few years. There is no incentive for top players to worry about long-term problems. The league’s tough maximum players can forget about the union by the individual. The influence these players have. Think about. Rodgers. Baseball has a draft and you probably wouldn’t see that player for many years. Football and this guy are in a position in a few months.
He gets permission to play in 2019 after a and refuses to take the box, chooses to leave 2020 and then is injured out of the box in 2021. I’d be more disappointed if they paid for it. Snowflake
In the Broncos’ decision, he deserves to have trained at Bronco’s facility. The NFL Players Guild has encouraged players to stay out, they deserve to pay their wages.
classless
What is said is that it is better to lie on the couch than to exercise if you have money guaranteed.
This has been a disaster since we got it. He never sought to play and played as little as possible. Worse signing for the Broncos and they were lucky. They gave him something like $17 million for three games in two years. We were lucky he chose to pay attention to the union. I was never going to play for the Broncos this year, no matter what I’d figured out a way to stay away.
It’s hard for enthusiasts to feel sorry for well-paid athletes when they have little or no coverage on their own paintings due to anti-labor legislation such as the misnamed “right to paint” legislation that leaves few rights to painters. The average career in the NFL is around 3 years. The salary distribution is skewed for qualified players, especially quarterbacks. I’m also amazed at how much the NFLPA offers billionaire homeowners. Unsecured contracts are a joke in a game like soccer, where injury can end a career. I’d love to see analytics experts show us the real money NFL players really make in their careers. I sense that top fans don’t empathize with well-paid players, but enthusiasts themselves blatantly help their groups and get tremendous excitement from a game they love. I find it hard to watch the NFL, not because of the players, but because of the corporate mindset and the greed of the genuine NFL, its club of billionaire boys who fuck players from left to right, not to mention the fan who will literally pay for it. play. play.
There is insurance for each type of risk. Players retire instead of buying another Mercedes.
People angry with him for the money he made for hurting is stupid. Tom Brady probably won $20 million for 2008 and played 0 games that year!Peyton Manning received a lot of money for a year that was also lost, and many others. Do we intend to be mad at them about that or just James?And the players who retired last season didn’t get their full salary. I sense that’s your right based on the abc, but I think the Broncos are rubbish for that. But maybe the $10 million is something they covet more than their reputation. an error to point it out I. First of all, however, I do not like groups that come out of their mistakes because of technical problems. He wasn’t riding a helmetless bike (hello Ben Roethlisberger) when he was injured, he was educated and getting ready for the season. I simply don’t perceive the vitrilum of this specific player.
Players tell everyone that they should only be treated as adults and that they don’t know what to do. The challenge is that they need all the benefits but none of the consequences.
Remember the CBA negotiations where the league sought to put more money, systems and fitness into position for life after football and players didn’t need any of that if that meant they would get a dollar less today.
NFLPA moved on to CBA negotiations in 2012 to prevent players from using knee pads, hips, and knees because some of its players don’t need to be forced to use them. It’s the NFL’s fault if they get injured anyway, not theirs. This is the definition of NFLPA of adulthood and responsibility.
Get precisely what you deserve
They’re a padlock for one of the 10 most sensible options.
You probably want to leave the space blank after the season.
MostRight is correct.
“There is insurance for each and every type of risk. Players retire instead of buying another Mercedes. “
I’ll give you an example of the NFL. Jermichael Finley, former TE of GB Packers. Invalidity insurance. He was expected to realize that he might not play in the NFL for the duration of his contract.
When the Cowboys cut a guy several years ago, they countered public objections with the following claim: we paid them $4 million and he was shot four.
How is it different, especially since the boy played 3 games in 2019, voluntarily chose not to participate in the entire 2020 season and will now not be absolutely available for the 2021 season?I mean, seriously, the kid already got $17 million (as I get it) and, until the end of this season, he’ll have played 9% of the 49 games of the normal season in which he paid to play.
He made more than 200k consistent with snap plays with the broncos and brought it to him without following the contract of employment at the team’s premises if he continues to push the bronco pass after his bonus to be signed.
The other people in this commentary segment will be looking like billionaires in attacks instead of the guy in the box who puts their bodies on the line. Ooooh because they need their favorite football team to save money on the couch cushion. .
Come easily. Take it easy.
It’s hard to feel sorry for whoever makes $17 million for betting on just 3 games.
Given what’s at risk, are those guys so lost in the price of cash that they forget about contract regulations as if they were going to be implemented in the event of a problem?
I enjoyed your last line, Mike, fun stuff, and that’s true for most of us.
The Broncos didn’t “hit” James. C it was an unfortunate injury, but the Broncos had every right to cut it off and not pay for it. All the other groups would have done the same.
This is a smart example of what can happen when a union stops focusing on what is smart for staff and instead focuses on what it is for management.
NFLPA can fix CBA in conditions like this in the long run (in nine years !!!)

Not to mention he actually worked at the facility before accepting the unions’ recommendation not to attend voluntary education sessions. I can’t blame the Broncos for making a business decision. Didn’t James do the same? It is always a business, regardless of our fandom of players and/or teams. He was paid a lot of cash when he was injured in the past. It sucks to hurt yourself and then let it go, however, anyone who’s looking for this. Your agent deserves to have known it was better to let your consumer move away from the status quo knowing that anything that could happen would jeopardize your income. If you ask me, the players have to come, in combination and make a decision the fate of the existing leaders because they are completely null and worthless
She earned about $35,000,000. Keep your pity for who deserves it, don’t waste it on that millionaire.
What is rotten is that he first on the premises, then NFLPA told the players not to go, and he left.
One thing would be if NFLPA tried to advocate for an important facet of player protection and yet it looked more like a small corner: didn’t they come to exercise before the mini-camp?Talk about opting for bad battles. Two-player races are now potentially lost as a result.
Absolute bastard franchise. That’s why it drives me crazy when enthusiasts yell at players to wait. Exactly explaining why players want to get everything they can while they can.
In the memorandum distributed to 32 NFL groups through the League office, clubs were reminded that an “injury sustained while a player runs outside the gates of team supervision in a location other than a facility of the NFL is considered a similar injury in soccer “and is therefore not covered through the popular contractual guarantee for injuries. This point has been discussed ad nauseam in the afterlife in communications between the League and the NFLPA. In fact, this is not a secret and sneaky poison tablet arrangement. In any case, I assume the NFLPA reminded players and their agents of this fact because they were advising players NOT to participate in the drill. off-season volunteer. And if they did, why are they now so ashamed of the hotel throwing “no courage” labels on the League for taking credit for the underdog Mr. James. Come on. One question also comes to mind : it s agents of Mr. James (who deserve to have known about this long-standing policy on their own) the time to chat with the player they constitute before allowing them to leave the team premises to exercise in an unauthorized location. And if they haven’t, the player deserves to interview other more qualified or expert constituents.
Two comments . . . First, this Resolution of the Broncos has the possibility to blow up the NFLPA at one time or another. His MAUVAIS recommendation has charged a lot of money to two players, I doubt other players will exercise outside of their team unless adjustments are made. and players no longer have support for football at the time of the OTA/camp. Second, from a legal point of view, how is this different from who works from home and is injured?Isn’t that a legal “occupational accident” (OSHA, WISHA, etc. )?
How would you hurt yourself running away from home?Get a nail?
Putting their bodies at risk? I think veterans and firefighters say hello.

Justin Simmons and Brandon McManus pay Ja’Wuan. They were the ones who sought not to show up at the premises by the Broncos players.
Gimme more
The Broncos can be proud to make James an example. NFLPA and agents will be proud to ensure the FA passes anywhere, however, players in Denver and Denver will take a look to give them the first thing they have. Denver for that.
Not the hand that feeds you!
What were the other educational features through your off-site equipment?
If you sit down and collect a Covid pay mea cheque, unfortunately it’s karma that raises your head. Anyone who thinks they have to pay is wrong, it’s transparent and simple. He wasn’t there when the team needed him, why deserve it?will they be there for him?
DRAMA, DRAMA, DRAMA!
