Message: [QUOTE="HtownOrange, post: 5641947, member: 622"] Most contracts are not broken. Trades are included in pro contracts, sometime with approval clauses. Often there are also option clauses in which players can shop around and go to arbitration and such. I am NOT a sports contract attorney, just discussing general knowledge. Contracts are not broken willy molly like the college deals are being broken. Business cannot happen. The pros would not accept this. Also, how many teams welcome back a player who leaves under less than favorable conditions? Very rare and usually with some resolving matters over time. Yet we hear often of how hard a player is to work with or a prima donna, etc. Pro team owners know what they are getting and when a problem child is brought in, there are often more conditions in the contract.
