Know What You're Signing Before You Sign It.
A professional football contract is more than a salary agreement. It establishes your compensation, benefits, responsibilities, and what happens if things don't go according to plan.
The Professional Football Contract Review Worksheet, developed by Black Diamond Sports & Entertainment Group, LLC, is a practical, fillable PDF designed to help athletes and their representatives organize important contract details, identify unanswered questions, and prepare for discussions before signing.
Whether you're evaluating your first professional football opportunity or reviewing an offer from another organization, this worksheet helps you look beyond the excitement of getting signed.
What's Included?
This 5-page fillable worksheet provides organized sections for reviewing:
Athlete & Team Information: Document the parties involved and basic contract details.
Salary & Bonuses: Record compensation amounts, payment schedules, incentives, and financial obligations.
Housing & Transportation: Identify promised accommodations, benefits, and related expenses.
Medical Insurance & Injury Protection: Document coverage information and important injury-related provisions.

Why Use This Worksheet?
It's easy to focus on salary and overlook other important contractual provisions.
This worksheet gives you a structured way to record what has been promised, compare those promises with the written agreement, and identify matters that should be addressed before making a commitment.
Because what isn't discussed before signing can become a problem after signing.
