Re: Junior Galette Arrested
He was a douche long before this happened. What he said about Jon Vilma and Will Smith made him a douche, and the fact he won't stay off twitter. This, if true, just means he's stupid and he deserves whatever he gets.

Re: Junior Galette Arrested
I sincerely hope we release him
Not just because of this but because of the fact that he was a complete jerk all the way through the season, you do not call out guys like will smith or Jon Vilma when they have accomplished more than galette ever has for our franchise. He is a distraction, he is a nuisance, he is all mouth and his immaturity is showing Joe Morgan got cut for immaturity issues, time for galette to face the music. |

Re: Junior Galette Arrested
Another lesson is that strippers be crazy and if you let one in your house, you should be prepared for all that means.

All I know, is I don't agree with this "never put your hands on a woman under ANY circumstances". Again, I've never been threatened or felt threatened by any woman. But should that ever happen, I'll do whatever is necessary. Gender doesn't matter in the event of self defense. Women want to be treated as equals, which is fine in terms of rights and freedom's. But if you want to be an equal you don't get to make up your own rules, and think you can do whatever you want without consequences.

If I had a nickel for every time I heard that, the NFL would fine and suspend me.

It must be paid regardless if the player is on the roster or not. A "guaranteed roster bonus" really isn't a roster bonus. What it functions as is a deferred signing bonus. This means that it's not paid at the time of signing, but that as guaranteed money it can be spread over the life of the contract. This has benefit for the player, who is guaranteed the money, and for the team because it allows flexibility in terms of spreading out payments. Now the type of bonus you are thinking of is called an option bonus. It becomes guaranteed on a specific day of the league year if and only if the player is still on the roster. To see another good example of the use of a guaranteed roster bonus is Jarad Allen's Chicago contract. The Bears were tight for cap space in 2014 but wanted Allen. Allen wanted guaranteed money. In 2015 the Bears would have more cap space due to dead money dropping off. So Allen's contract is structured with an $11 million guaranteed roster bonus for 2015. He doesn't get the money at signing. He gets it early in the 2015 league year. It doesn't count against the 2014 cap and can either count completely against the 2015 cap, or can be converted an spread over the remainder of the contract just like a signing bonus. But the key is that the payment isn't contingent on being on the roster. Allen would get those dollars if he were cut or if he retired. So it's just like a signing bonus, except it doesn't get paid at the time of signing. SFIAH |

Re: Junior Galette Arrested
The roster bonus seems like it's one of the easiest ways for the Saints to begin salary cap trimming. The team could possibly turn this bonus into signing bonus money to spread the hit over four more seasons.
But I'm wondering if a possible suspension triggers a clause in the contract that would make Galette's $12.5 million roster bonus non-guaranteed. Or at the least, if the Saints can recoup some of the money. Suspensions tied to potential bonuses are included in some NFL contracts. It wouldn't surprise me if Galette's deal possessed an out clause to protect the franchise. Junior Galette's arrest once again calls into question his maturity level: Larry Holder | NOLA.com ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Hopefully guaranteed doesn't always necessarily mean fully guaranteed. Hopefully there is a clause in the contract stating: If you do anything overly retarded like "beat up a woman" your contract is void! No deal! |

Oh and if a man is in the situation of domestic violence where his wife/gf/bf or whatever is hitting him, I expect he could be man enough to call the police or walk away permanently. I've arrested women for domestic battery and upon going to a call I don't take sides. But like I said, maybe that's just how we do thing here. Oh and not to discount you, but I hardly believe that 2/3 of women in the US are on medication for mental health. Just my opinion, not that it matters. |
