Fantasy Football Picks – Patrick Willis Dealings

The 49ers and Patrick Willis’ agents found a loophole around the NFL’s “30 percent rule” in extending contracts during this uncapped year. The key is having a second bonus in Year 2 that is guaranteed only for injury. Previously, veterans were limited to only a 30 percent raise, year-over-year.

If the league approves Willis’ contracts, the loophole could provide the framework for stars such as Titans RB Chris Johnson, Colts QB Peyton Manning and Patriots QB Tom Brady to get contract extensions this summer.
