Is an NFL player's contract guaranteed?

No, it's not guaranteed, but as you're seeing more and more with the NFL - if you ever notice when players are signing contracts, it will say $28 million contract with 15 million guaranteed. So the guarantees are going up as far as how much guaranteed money is in your contract. And the reason being is that - if you notice the other major sports like baseball, basketball - they all have guaranteed contracts. And football is the toughest sport. And we're putting our bodies on the line every day. So we need to have some more guarantees in our contract. So, there's not guaranteed contracts as far as the whole contract goes, but they're starting to see more and more money within the contract.
