Patriots' Jacas Contract Has Unusual Knee Injury Waiver

The New England Patriots included an unusual injury waiver in rookie linebacker Gabe Jacas's contract, protecting the team financially regarding a pre-existing left knee injury.

The Patriots and Jacas took an extended time to negotiate his rookie contract due to the injury waiver regarding his left knee. The fact that he's on the non-football injury list suggests the condition has prevented him from passing a pre-training camp physical. akupunkturabielsko.pl

According to Ben Volin of the Boston Globe, the first three years of Jacas's contract are fully guaranteed, along with approximately 17.5 percent of the fourth year. The injury waiver specifically covers the 2027 and 2028 league years, meaning the injury guarantee doesn't cover his left knee during those seasons.
