if you sign a 16m guaranteed deal with another party, you just can't back out of it afterwards because you changed your mind. not without mutual consent - otherwise it's not a contract at all, it's just at will employment. I highly doubt RGIII's agent let the skins put in any kind of team option clause, cause then it's not a guaranteed contract at all.

But that's exactly the way the 5th year option works. Griffin didn't sign a new contract, the Skins just picked up that option, which is part of the original rookie contract Griffin signed. If the Skins want to rescind the option for any reason, they can do so without Griffin's consent.

and once that option is picked up, it's binding. if he's on the roster, he gets the money, if he's not, he doesn't, unless he's hurt, cause the option is guaranteed against injury.

Okay, but that's not the point. The point is that the Skins can release him without his consent. Contrary to what people on here have been saying.

Right they can release him. But they can't modify the contract. They either cut him before the first day of the new league year or they pay him the 16million. If he is not cut and injured then they pay him. Those are the three possible routes for griffin at this point.

I thought you were saying we could keep him on the roster but cancel the 5th year option. That is not a possibility

No. They can't. Its part of the cba language. If you pick it up it attaches to the original contract. It has one requirement, that the player is one the team the first day of the league year it relates to(in this case 2016) and one proviso, if the player sustains an injury that would keep him out on the first day of the league year(2016) the player receives the guaranteed pay(16mil)
Once the team exercises the option the language is locked.
