How would agents view Schoen if he tried to force a renegotiation of an injury guarantee?   While I have seen players be asked to take pay cuts or be cut, I have not witnessed a team try to renegotiate a guarantee.  There seems to be an unwritten rule (I am not fully versed; it might even be a written rule) that guarantees money in contracts.

Do you think that might hurt Schoen in future contract negotiations?

You view sitting him after an injury as forcing him to renegotiate his injury clause? That would be up to him and his Agent to bring that up.

I'm going a little conspiracy theory on this take...

Because of the tension between Daboll and Wink, maybe Wink didn't want to play any more of Daboll's 'guys' from Buffalo.

The incomplete for Ojulari is too generous. I think we've seen enough of him to know what he is. He's played more games than Aaron Robinson, Elerson Smith, and Rodarius Williams combined. Thankfully they have Brian Burns now.

I would be perfectly content with them wrapping him in bubble wrap and placing him at the end of the bench. Then telling him if he wants to play he's welcome to waive the injury clause, if not enjoy your   🍿.

Playing is in his best interest. It's his opportunity to retain his position with the Giants or to audition for his next team by way of trade or cut. That's a good reason to waive or renegotiate that injury clause. That clause should have had a reduction built into it over the life of the contract. It should be reduced by 25% entering year two.

It's possible that if he pulls a Hammy, they may shut him down after that. It happens where an injury to the leg and coming back from rehab, another part of that leg suffers injury. The worst being an Achilles.

It would behoove all concerned to keep him in the pocket and have Eli teach him how to drop dead if he's about to get tackled.

I remember a lot of people excited about Elerson Smith

That explains why our roster was so bad. 

 

Hopefully the ACL forces him to focus on delivering the ball downfield instead of thinking of running.
