CB Leigh Bodden is a great example of a players who sign huge contracts after a good season. He got a four year $23 million contract and ended up getting released. The Pats signed him before the start of the 2009 season to a one year contract. He played well enough to earn his current deal.
He was placed on Injured Reserve after getting injured in training camp before the start of the 2010 season. He came back this year, but has not played well enough to keep his spot on the roster.
The team released him yesterday. Coach Belichick declined to answer questions about his performance. He will probably hook up with another team.
I think the NFL has the right idea about not guaranteeing contracts. You get paid if you play well, unlike baseball and basketball that are havens for guys who have a great season, sign a huge contract and then do nothing for the rest of their career.
