If there's no 2011 season

Post by VetSkinsFan »

Are contracts suspended b/c the actual year in football never happened or is that year on contracts waived or what?

RIP #21 Sean Taylor. You will be loved and adored by Redskins fans forever!!!!!

It's going to be a long offseason. May last until 2012.

Contracts function under the "accrued season" portion of the CBA. Players must meet the terms and conditions of an "accrued season" which they cannot do without a CBA in place. The contracts are not waived. It is akin to an NBA player who is under contract with an NBA franchise but leaves to play in Europe. The NBA (or NFL team in this case) still owns the player's rights through the length of the contract. The contract language is based upon accrued seasons as opposed to years for that reason.
