Different sports, but guaranteed contracts in the NFL are a disaster waiting to happen. Let the Browns wallow in their continued stupidity...for years to come. We don't need that in Indianapolis.

When those deals where made the capitol gains tax would have gutted those deals. When Bonilla saw the suggested payment plan, and tax savings he demanded a pen and signed it. He got more money over time. Whats $3 million a year to MLB?
