A question for any forum attorney...

Since John Harbaugh had just signed a 3 year Contract with the Ravens, does he still get paid in full for the total term of the Contract?

Secondly, if he chooses to sign with another organization, does he STILL get all the money owed under the existing Contract?

I'm not an attorney but from what I understand of these contracts, yes, they're guaranteed in terms of their money. Teams are liable for the cost of entire contract term. The only way they could get out is if there is a clawback provision in the contract. That isn't all that common as far as I know, though you can and do see them more in college coach's contracts.

That makes the Raiders situation even more insane considering how many coaches they're still paying!

There was once a time in the National Hockey League didn't even allow coaches who were fired to be hired by another team until their contract expired, unless the team that fired them surrendered their rights (usually they could demand a draft pick in compensation for doing so). The NFL doesn't do that (since Jon Gruden got traded to Tampa, they don't allow coach trades anymore).

Bills don't need a new coach.  They need to provide Allen with legitimate wide receivers...sit down and STHU!

Bills offense has won despite WR challenges. Can it continue?

excerpt:

Cooks played a significant role in the win, including catching a 36-yard pass from Allen to set up the winning score.

The Bills, however, didn't leave the game unscathed. Instead, they were dealt an onslaught of receiver injuries this past week. Joshua Palmer was placed on injured reserve (IR) before the win against the Jaguars, and both Gabe Davis and Tyrell Shavers suffered torn ACLs in Jacksonville.

The Bills have proved that winning games without an obvious No. 1 receiver is feasible with Allen at the helm and heavy usage of their tight ends and running backs, but the question remains about winning the game -- Super Bowl LX.

In 2024, the offense broke franchise records for points and touchdowns but lost in the AFC Championship Game. There are clear top targets in tight end Dalton Kincaid, who is a difference-maker when he's healthy, and primary slot receiver and 2022 fifth-round pick Khalil Shakir. Shakir has become Allen's most reliable and go-to target (he led the team in targets and receptions the past two seasons), but, for context, ranked 30th in receptions (72) and 44th in receiving yards (419).

Yes...the Bills beat themselves this afternoon/evening, losing 33-30 in Overtime.

They fumbled FIVE TIMES!  Josh Allen THREE OF THOSE ON HIM! They handed the Broncos TEN POINTS in the last minute of the 1st half making it 20-10.

And yet, they still got it to Overtime, where the refs made some questionable calls that went against Buffalo (the "interception" that was a catch, the PI) ... Allen is a really good QB, but they sure had bad luck today

Now Nix is out with a fluke injury on the second-last play of the game (some are saying it's karma for the Refs' bad calls against the Bills), so Denver has to start some guy who hasn't played in 3 years against a tough Playoff opponent ... yikes, good luck with that!!

We have seen so many really really bad calls all year long. It's stunning - and makes it really hard not to believe the NFL has predetermined which teams they want to win.

Which, I will note, is substantially illegal. But, I guess, the $10,000 penalty prescribed in law is not enough of a deterrent.

That the NFL is in bed with all those online betting sites cannot be a good thing.
