DK suspended two games

[RiverDog]

It that sort of clause normal and complete?

I can understand a clause to make guarantees null and void if a player gets suspended for doing something stupid but "for any reason" includes injury if some defender charges into you with helmet to helmet contact putting you into concussion protocol do players really lose their guarantees?

Most NFL contracts, especially those for veteran players like Metcalf, have written into them an injury guarantee as a standard operating procedure and that the "for any reason" covers everything except those reasons specifically noted in the contract, like football-related injuries.

Did the nfl not believe him when he said the fan used a derogatory word?

Didn't hear the fan say that in this new video. So add defamation on to the lawsuit. $$

DK Metcalf suspension voids $45M in guarantees, gives Steelers future financial out

Metcalf's money did not vanish, but his safety net did.

His four-year, $132 million contract from March, reviewed by CBS Sports, notes that if he "fails… to practice or play with the Club for any reason," which includes "Player's suspension by the NFL or Club for Conduct Detrimental," his guarantees "will be NULL AND

From $555K to potentially up to $45 million if Steelers decide to cut him? Ouch. That must hurt more than the fan's face did.

DK being DK, letting his temper get the best of him and costing his team and himself for it. I wonder if he even remembered that stipulation in his contract, that he might be flirting with breeching it by his actions?

We got rid of our two biggest headcases in Geno and DK, saved CAP money in doing so, and got fairly high draft picks in return. Great moves by team JS/MM.

 

[Blazenhawks]

Honestly I'm shocked something like this didn't happen sooner with him

An "altercation" in the men's sauna at LA Fitness.

What?

Bro…when grown ass, old sweaty men’s’es are trying to scoot by you while only wearing a towel….

….if that’s not an altercation or assault…

The suspension combined with actions determinable to the league can void his forty million dollar guaranteed portion of his remaining contract.

There was too much to lose to go out of your way to go walk up and engage with a mouthy fan.

I just read that the DK's suspension was upheld after appeal. It's a done deal.

Wow. Thanks for the update.

 

[SoulfishHawk]

Still not our problem

No, but between DK and Russell Wilson it's like watching reality TV, Diva Dumbshits, on Hulu

Yeah, the fact that those guys no longer play for us doesn't take away from the fact that it's an interesting drama.

I was surprised that neither the team nor the league are taking any action against the fan as it looked to me like he was clearly baiting Metcalf. They must have determined that he didn't hurl any racial insults and since he never left his seat, that he was within his rights, that it was Metcalf that invaded his space.

At least the Stealers were smart enough to put that provision in the contract. They are already seeing that he wasn't worth the trade or the contract. He will definitely be a future cut candidate for them.

Things may change, but the Steelers have come out and said that they have no intention of taking advantage of that provision, that the plan is for Metcalf to be a part of the Steelers future.

The best part is the fan can sue Dk for libel; He lied about what the fan said
and it's on video; The fan clearly called him by his name.
