Tyler Shough wants a fully guaranteed contract

Former Louisville football star Tyler Shough is reportedly  'insisting' on a fully guaranteed contract after being drafted No. 40 overall by the New Orleans Saints. Thirty-six players have yet to sign their contracts, and 30 of those players were drafted in the second round.

Shough, being one of those 30 players, has a valid argument as he is the frontrunner to start for the Saints. The Saints' star quarterback, Derek Carr, recently retired, making Shough a clear path to being the next big thing in New Orleans.
