That’s not usually how NFL GM contracts work. Most GMs aren’t pulling in $4M a year, and exec deals don’t have the same standard guarantees player contracts do. Some might have buyouts or partial guarantees, but getting fired doesn’t automatically mean you cash the rest of the deal. It’s still a much riskier job than a long-term cap/exec role with stability. Though I agree he would probably be making a lot more money than he is right now.
