Seeing some suggest that Joe Burrow will now receive all of his $200+ million injury guarantees. Not true. Injury guarantees only activate if the player cannot play future seasons due to the injury. So unless this injury is career-ending, it has no effect on future guarantees.
In two of his four NFL seasons, Joe Burrow has suffered a season-ending injury in November. That makes his new contract, with $219 million in injury guarantees, look even better. https://t.co/3F4JROuGTs
