Brent Celek became a wealthy man when he had signed the 13 million dollar contract for the duration of 3 years when he signed with the Philadelphia Eagles. The contract also included a signing bonus of 3 million which was an excellent perk for Brent. Most NFL contracts only come with small guarantees because of the nature of the spot. The owners of teams can’t take the risk of giving guaranteed money to a player when the risk of injury and possibility of not being able to finish a contract is so high. Safer sports like baseball and basketball are more likely to hand out guaranteed contracts. Celek was fortunate to get 6 million dollars guaranteed from his average salary of 4 million dollars.
