I've read here that one of the things holding up Knight signing with us is that Green Bay guaranteed him the starting job, and we've said he can compete for the job.
Whether or not this rumor is true, my question is what happens if you 'guarantee' a player the starting job to get him to sign with you and then after training camp decided he is not 'the man' and start someone else?
Yes the player will be pissed.
Yes the team will get a PR black eye.
But are there any real ramifications? Is there something in the player's contract that 'guarantees' the starting job?
