Aaron Hernandez $$ Question

Will his gaurenteed money ($16.4 mil) count against the Pats salary cap if he is suspended/convicted ??

 

Ok thanks.

Say if a player retires, a team would owe him nothing for future years, but would have to eat any "dead" money carried over from prior years, correct?
Or, does that "dead" money go away when the player retires?

 

I think it counts against the cap. I think that's how it happens with Vick.

 

I just saw a special report on Fox News that said the police have said that he's a MAJOR accessory at the least. Are we looking at another Ray Lewis situation?

 

I think this might actually be worse. I read somewhere this morning(espn?) that the surveillance system at his house had been intentionally destroyed and when the police asked for his cell it was turned in destroyed as well. Of course money can do a lot of things and one of them is hiring a team of awesome lawyers.

 

Yeah. Also while ago on Fox News they said that his lawyer LITERALLY handed the police a cell phone that had been LITERALLY smashed to pieces! What an arrogant punk if that turns out to be true. He also called in a professional cleaning crew to clean his house and that looks very suspicious.

 

YEAH!!!! HAAHAAHAH!!!!! I just saw while ago where they said that when he came in to the league some teams passed on him because he had ties to some gangs. I don't like the guy anyway. I can't stand when people cover themselves in tattoos and that dude just looks like a thug to me. Man I bet Belichik is FURIOUS TOO!!

 

Thanks again, sorry but the contract info/terminology is fuzzy to me to say the least. LOL

The "dead money" I was actually refering to the when a contract is "restuctured" and the cap hit is spread over the remaining contract years.

 

He did'nt see nuthin' but he knows who did!

 

Apparently an arrest warrant(obstruction of justice) has been issued for Hernandez.

I'm truly over the thug element in the NFL and hope that Goodell drops the hammer citing code of conduct.

 

Man I agree 100%! This is really one of the things that annoys me the most about the draft process and the NFL definitely shares some blame in that code of conduct as well because they ALLOW these dudes in the league to start with. They knew this kid was a bad seed to start with. Ray Lewis also had a record when he came in to the league. As did Pac-Man Jones. I would say they had a hunch about Chris Henry too. I wish the NFL would impose a rule upon itself that says everytime they draft a guy with a record and he goes on to do even more stupid crap that they have to donate X amount of dollars to charity. With these morons getting drafted today they would probably be able to find a cure for cancer with that money.

The police of surveillance footage of Hernandez with the victim shortly before the murder.

 

Yeah and apparently the neighbors heard gunshots about the time that he was getting home. But, ya know, it was probably just some redneck doing target practice, in an upscale neighborhood, AT NIGHT! LOL. What defense can this guy possibly offer?

 

Guess Tebow just picked up his roster spot as a QB/TE/H-back!

 

I bet Gisele wouldn't have been talking smack about all those receivers dropping balls in the SB if she had known that one of them would shoot her. LOL.

 

What a waste, the opportunity he was given to become a role model for kids is on the reverse now. I hope some kid don't think he is cool with his BS behavior.
