I was curious... is there any recourse that the Pats could consider when it comes to a high-paid long-term player who acts in an unprofessional manner?
For example, if I sign a player to a 5 year $50M contract, and that player immediately becomes a cancer, showing disrespect, and showing no desire to play football, can he be forced to lose some of that due to breach of contract? Are those "guaranteed" payments 100% guaranteed, or can a team argue that the player broke a contract?
Surely there are clauses that outline basic standards of conduct that must be adhered to throughout the duration of the contract?
