I agree.  I went looking for such a clause on Spotrac after the news came out but didn't see any mention of it.  It might not be something that is disclosed unless someone from the team announces it?  I don't know.  I don't know if Spotrac actually gets to lay eyes on the contract or just compiles what's been reported.  But that's why I said this could look very bad (for Baalke) if the knee remains a problem on top of the known plantar fasciitis issue.
