DRAFT Welcome to New England - Illinois Edge Gabe Jacas! (2nd round, #55)

[SlowGettingUp]

If they're wanting Jacas to take a little less for not disclosing an injury they're really going to sink the season for this player and create bad will over what? 50k-100k a year over 4 years?

The contract dollars are fixed, not up for discussion. The percentage guaranteed is also essentially fixed - for the amount right between the guys drafted above and below him (around 80%).
What is up for discussion is how that guarantee interacts with his pre-existing injury and the current status of that issue.

And notably that discussion really doesn’t really involve whether or not or to what degree he disclosed details, before or after the draft.

Sure it does. It is a business contract clause outside the CBA so everything is on the table. There are no limits to what the contract can say as long as both parties agree.
