Read the article below. 

A National Football League (NFL) coach was fired earlier this month, but he’s still going to be paid for several more years. In 2020, coach Matt Rhule signed a seven-year, $62 million contract with the Carolina Panthers. After a horrible 1-4 start to the 2022 season, the team fired him. However, Rhule had a fully-guaranteed contract, so the Panthers must still pay him the remaining $40 million.

Unlike NFL coaches, most players don’t have fully-guaranteed contracts. Denver Broncos quarterback Russel Wilson signed a $245 million contract extension last month, but only $161 million is guaranteed. Similarly, Kansas City Chiefs star player Patrick Mahomes will only receive $141 million of his $450 million contract for sure. If a team cuts a player, the remaining money often disappears.

In 2018, Kirk Cousins became the first veteran NFL player to sign a fully-guaranteed contract. However, since then, only a few others have done the same. Experts say that fully-guaranteed contracts could become the norm in the NFL if more star players push for them.
