Russell Okung goes on Twitter rant over non-guaranteed NFL contracts

Former Seahawks left tackle Russell Okung knows more about NFL contracts than most players. While he was ridiculed by many (including me) for the contract he negotiated himself and signed with the Broncos in 2016 when leaving Seattle, it still meant that Okung had to research the process and deal directly with owners and executives rather than going through an agent. It’s obvious that Okung — also one of 11 members of the NFL Players Association’s Executive Committee — hasn’t liked what he’s seen regarding the deals agreed to between teams and players.
