Do NFL teams have to pay out the contracts of players they cut?
In the NFL, when a player gets cut from a team, it's common to wonder if they still get paid the remaining amount of their contract. From my understanding, it largely depends on the specific terms of the contract, such as guaranteed money and signing bonuses. If a player has guaranteed money in their contract, they will still receive that amount even if they are cut. However, non-guaranteed portions of a contract will not be paid out. In conclusion, NFL teams have to pay out the contracts of players they cut, but only for the guaranteed portions of those contracts.
