Every NFL owner has the money or access to cheap capital to pay guaranteed contracts. You think any of these teams is going to file chapter 11? They make the same arguments when they want new stadiums - can't compete, blah blah blah.
They just don't like paying the players.
Well I have to disagree. There are teams that cannot afford the escrow on guaranteed money.
That;s why the union is complaining.
If you eliminate the escrow requirement, they argue, there would be more guaranteed money.
The union would not be opposing the escrow requirement unless it were a real hindrance, which apparently it is.
