Why not add injury clauses into players contracts?

No way Dak has a refund policy in his contract.

Injuries are a part of the game, but so is team building! How can you build a team and you're paying a guy a huge amount of money, and he gets hurt often, that's strapping our team from getting other resources. I'm just it would be hard as hell for Jerry to sell this to an agent/players, but at this point, we're paying too much, and not getting the money back on our investments with these injuries. The last injury clause I remember was with Gerald McCoy who rightfully needed one. It's just a thought, how about it. Now please give your thoughts!!!

Well, that's another Jerry question that cannot be answered in a timely manner. That would be like asking: Why is Jerry still the owner of the Cowboys? Somethings just don't have sensible answers to inquiring questions.......LOL!

NFLPA would never allow it.

How would decide what is a real injury? How would you know if someone intentionally delayed their rehab?

I don't know but season ending operation by a surgeon would be a good starting point. What's the motivation of a player doing that to help a team from cap relief? Players want to play.

Why would any player seriously consider signing a contract that has such a clause?
One of the purposes of the guarantees is in case of injury so that they still get paid in case they get hurt on the job. It is a risk that team owners have to consider when offering a contract.

He already has it. 87 million of his contract is insured.
