ORIGINAL: Phil Riewer Adam Schefter @AdamSchefter · 3h Ja'Wuan James’ agents, Bill Johnson and Matt Pope, negotiated the two-year deal with the Ravens that includes $500,000 in guaranteed money this year, per source. So the Ravens are paying him $500k to rehab this year and to have him under contract north of $8 million next year. Quote Tweet Adam Schefter @AdamSchefter · 3h Former Broncos’ OT Ja'Wuan James, who ruptured his Achilles in April, is signing a two-year deal worth up to $9 million with the Ravens, sources tell ESPN. James still has to pass his physical with the Ravens, but it will not include his current injury and no issues expected. https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/31583993/jawuan-james-files-15-million-grievance-denver-broncos-source-says This type of injury where players get injured off site but following team workouts (apparently other teammates were there) is going to get interesting for the next CBA. This is reprehensible on the part of the league. The NFL seems to be the only league with one-way contracts that the teams can void but the players can't, and this kind of BS only makes it worse. If you want to be able to dictate like this, you have to guarantee the contracts. Oh, and don't get mad when players want to renegotiate, since the teams can. The contracts aren't guaranteed, but the signing bonus is. That's what's in it for the players signing these unguaranteed contracts. Depends which contract...kirk's was fully guaranteed.
