Judge erases Aaron Hernandez’s murder conviction

Pats should have to pay the signing bonus. I would think the rest of the contract is void, but not any signing bonus.


Similar to how we still had to pay Junior.
(although somewhat different situations)


Yeah, that might be a different situation. I'm not sure how scheduled (installment) signing bonuses have been treated in the past with respect to players violating their contract. Certainly at first blush, you could assume the signing bonus would be fully owed at signing.
