The NFL has the Ability to Cut You for, Basically, Any Reason

Have never fully understood why NFL players are said to be 'signed' to a 'contract' when the team can cut the employee at any time. Employment at will, if you will. Now SportsGrid has a peek at an NFL 'Notice of Termination.' #5 is the kicker.


APPENDIX H NOTICE OF TERMINATION
TO:
You are hereby notified that effective immediately your NFL Player Contract(s) with the Club covering the _______________________ football season(s) has (have) been ter-minated for the reason(s) checked below:
□ You have failed to establish or maintain your excellent physical condition to the satisfaction of the Club physician.
□ You have failed to make full and complete disclosure of your physical or men-tal condition during a physical examination.
□ In the judgment of the Club, your skill or performance has been unsatisfactory as compared with that of other players competing for positions on the Club’s roster.
□ You have engaged in personal conduct which, in the reasonable judgment of the Club, adversely affects or reflects on the Club.
□ In the Club’s opinion, you are anticipated to make less of a contribution to the Club’s ability to compete on the playing field than another player or players whom the Club intends to sign or attempts to sign, or already on the roster of the Club, and for whom the Club needs Room.

In other words, we don't want to pay you anymore.
