At a time when the eighth overall pick in the 2018 draft remains unsigned due to the issue of voided guarantees Taven Bryan Jersey , the fifth overall pick in the 2016 draft likely has had his remaining guarantees voided.

Jaguars cornerback Jalen Ramsey, suspended for a week by the team, most likely has seen the financial protections for 2018 and 2019 evaporate by virtue of the punishment. (It’s possible, but not likely, that Ramsey secured the removal of language voiding the guarantee for a team-imposed suspension.)

Ramsey, who signed a four-year, $23.5 million deal, has a salary of $2.572 million in 2018 and a salary of $3.634 million in 2019. Because the Jaguars typically remove offset language from top-10 rookie contracts (Jacksonville and the Rams are the only teams who do that) Tyrone Crawford Jersey , the ability to escape future guarantees has a bit more relevance than it otherwise would.

Of course, the chances of the Jaguars actually dumping Ramsey reside somewhere between slim and none; he’s already one of the best cornerbacks in the game, after only two NFL seasons. Indeed, before they’d cut him, the Jaguars would be able to trade him for something much more than a conditional seventh-round pick.

Still, the situation shows the value of the haggling in which Bears linebacker Roquan Smith currently is engaged. If Ramsey had been a bust, the Jaguars would now have a way to easily save more than $6 million.

UPDATE 10:40 a.m. ET: Per a league source, the Jaguars have informed Ramsey that his guarantees will not be voided based upon his suspension. Again Cooper Kupp Jersey , it’s not as if they were going to cut him.

The NHL Awards will remain in Las Vegas the next three years, Commissioner Gary Bettman said Wednesday night before the Vegas Golden Knights opened the playoffs against the Los Angeles Kings.

The NHL Awards will be held Wednesday, June 20, at The Joint inside the Hard Rock Hotel & Casino, also the 2016 venue.

”Las Vegas has been a tremendous host to the NHL Awards and we are thrilled to be coming back to the city for a ninth time this summer and, for a second time, to the Hard Rock,” Bettman said. ”Our players Chaz Green Jersey , coaches and fans look forward to coming to Las Vegas each June to honor the award nominees and winners.”

Additionally, the NHL and Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority (LVCVA) announced a multi-year partnership extension, making this the 10th year of a partnership between Las Vegas and the NHL, and the ninth time the league will honor its hockey players in Las Vegas.

And for the first time since the awards have been held in Las Vegas, local fans may see members of their home team. Golden Knights coach Gerard Gallant is the frontrunner for the Jack Adams Award, honoring the league’s top coach, while general manager George McPhee is a favorite to win the NHL GM of the Year.

”The bond that developed so intensely and so quickly between the team and the city of Las Vegas, I don’t think anybody could have anticipated Randy Bullock Jersey ,” Bettman said. ”We knew it would be successful, but that it happened so fast, maybe it was in the face of the (Oct. 1) tragedy and the team trying to help heal and unify. Maybe it’s the fact that Las Vegas is proud that this franchise has been born here and that its roots will always be here from the beginning.”

Finalists for each award will be announced daily, beginning Tuesday, April 17.
