According to the collective agreement the player does get paid his full guarantee no matter.

He also gets paid his full salary if it's stipulated in his contract it's guaranteed against injury.

Peyton WAS on injured reserve in 2011.  And he did get paid...

"Well he was fired from the Colts". Actually that isn't true. Irsay paid him 26 Million dollars in 2011 and Peyton didn't even play a down to earn that. Had Irsay put him on IR, Peyton wouldn't of got paid 26 Mill did you even realize that. He kept him active so he would get paid! Many people probably don't even know that. Yeah Irsay is a horrible guy for paying someone 26 Mill who didn't even play?? So are you saying we should've re-signed Peyton with the uncertainties of his neck injury at the time and pass on Luck? Even had we done that, with the Defense we had, Peyton couldn't of won us another SB. Our O.Line was Bad too. We had to let him walk to try and rebuild because of the Salary Cap. We needed that money to add players. Denver had a Great Defense and a Great O.Line so we did Peyton a favor.

Somebody told you the wrong thing.,...CBE

Peyton was on injured reserve in 2011..late in the year....and he got paid.......

But the 2 things aren't connected. Players who are under contract ad on injured resrve...do get full salary..and I'm pretty sure they did then

 

...Irsay isn't a horrible guy .......he just made a decision....based on the info he had.

  I dont know how many people believe Peyton would do what he did in Denver/

But Irsay fired Peyton.......he had good reason to believe he could not perform anymore.

He cut him. He released him. Whatever words you want to use
