NFLPA Pres J.C. Tretter Encouraging Players To Push For Fully Guaranteed Deals

Earlier this offseason, the Cleveland Browns shocked the NFL world not only by trading three first-round draft picks and then some for former Houston Texans quarterback Deshaun Watson, but also then turning around and giving him a five-year, $230 million contract that was entirely, fully guaranteed for cap, performance, and injury.

Now, his would-be teammate who is currently unemployed and guaranteed nothing is pushing for other players to push for fully-guaranteed contracts of their own. Former Cleveland Browns center J.C. Tretter, who is the NFLPA president, and who was cut earlier this offseason, penned an article in the wake of the Watson deal advocating for his position.
