Not only do the Cowboys NEED to win...

There is not. It is fully guaranteed compensation.

I looked up something to see if there was a drop. 70% compensation after year 3 so it would be a 1.5M, roughly buyout, but would rather have that money go towards other things

I believe after year 3 of Sawvel's contract their is an out that significantly drops his payout should it come to that point

There is not. It is fully guaranteed. The pay for all 5

It's wrong. The person who wrote that article got confused and was clearly not an attorney. That was the BUYOUT provision that Sawvel would have to pay if he left for another job.

However, we don't have to argue about something you read. The contract itself is a public document located here.

Look at provision 12(f) which states that if Sawvel is fired without cause, he gets the entirety of the "Guaranteed Compensation" (which is defined to include all years) and "base compensation." Add $350,000 + $900,000 and that equals $1.25 million for each year of 2027 and 2028.
