Nick Bosa is not reporting to 49ers camp even though he's under contract for 2023. He wants a new contract.

That could impact the whiners big time.

Every sport should be incentive driven. Like the great game of golf

It happens all the time. If a contract isn't guaranteed, teams ask players who underperform to take pay cuts and if they don't they can cut them. Ezekiel Elliot is an example. He underperformed relative to his contract so the Cowboys cut him loose with three more years left on the contract he signed in 2019. The owners have all the power in the regard. Elliot could end up back on the Cowboys making significantly less than his contracted amount. If underperforming players can be forced to take a pay cut, why shouldn't over-performing players be entitled to better compensation?

Where's the part where players are forced to return money they have been paid? You refer to future money. We're all familiar with that.

yeah, they don't do that.

(not speaking to you, but just ... outloud) Everyone knows what the other is saying or trying to say. Contracts are partially guaranteed, we all know what that means. Players and Agents know exactly what it means. I hope this isn't a 10 page torture thread of who has the greatest willpower to never relent, never surrender on their symantics. We all know what it is.

I was responding to "So owners can ask for money back from players who underperform their contract, but players who overperform their contract can’t ask for additional money?"

I get "ask for money back "out of that. If it means "reducing money that will be paid", say so. They do not mean the same.
Maybe my limited experience in contract negotiation is messing with me. In that world, specific language is everything. All I know is what was said.

ask for money back sounds like a misstatement to me, i doubt anyone thought an owner would literally ask for some of last year’s pay back. I thought it more as telling a player they want to redo the contract. That usually depends on if the next year is guaranteed or not - if it’s not, player has to calculate if they will cut him and if so, can he get that much elsewhere. If it’s guaranteed , i don’t see a lot of players agree to renegotiate that personally

Some players do get extra money when they ask. Some players get renegotiated early, thats getting more money after asking. Many players don’t take a pay cut after they play like shit one year. See above. All of these considerations are forward looking and relative to contract terms and market alternatives.

Bring back the uniforms from the Junior Seau era as an alternate, please. Other teams are getting it done.

Jonathan Taylor unhappy. This year his contract is $4Mish. I know he missed a lot of games last year, but he is 24 and a superstar. Add him to the list of RBs unhappy.

Ekeler making $8M (which he will) with his new incentive expanded deal is actually pretty generous in the RB market now.

Bills biting off our blue, just like the Rams.
Seahawks bring me back, not in a good way.

Chargers Seau era jerseys are my favorite after the powder blues. they scream SD all day.
