clumping platelets Posted February 18, 2005 Share Posted February 18, 2005 Went from $540,000 to $2.5 million Must have had a salary escalator and I was not aware of it I now have them $7,418,595 under before tenders, official salary cap, and likely cap (debit) adjustment Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nodnarb Posted February 18, 2005 Share Posted February 18, 2005 it was probably the probowl. this is another aspect of the probowl that's a total and complete JOKE Scenario: Player, who is a probowl alternate, has a friend who makes the probowl. They both know that the alternate has a probowl escalator. The guy who makes it figures, hey. I got the "nod" already...getting voted in is what keeps your value high. Not whether or not you play. Oh look, I have a backache. I think I'll let my buddy here hit his escalator. Maybe he'll treat me to some ladies down on the islands. This happens all the time, and its the teams that pay the price, literally. The Probowl is a fuggin joke that must be done away with. The whole thing is an awkward, boring embarrassment. By the way, where did you read this, clump>? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clumping platelets Posted February 18, 2005 Author Share Posted February 18, 2005 http://www.nflpa.org/Members/playerProfile.asp?ID=30107 I agree.....being named as an alternate probably triggered the escalator Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sfladave Posted February 18, 2005 Share Posted February 18, 2005 I am sure that Nate got a bonus for the Pro Bowl. It seems to me that a $2 million escalation from a Pro Bowl appearance is a bit high (nearly 5 times his salary). I suspect that his initial salary was listed wrong in the first place by the source you got your information. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snorom Posted February 18, 2005 Share Posted February 18, 2005 The salary cap news just gets more depressing. Clump have you had a chance to upgrade your salary cap page. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KD in CA Posted February 18, 2005 Share Posted February 18, 2005 Nate Clements was only making 540k? When is his contract up? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike32282 Posted February 18, 2005 Share Posted February 18, 2005 This is why we need to sign Clements to an extension this offseason. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevestojan Posted February 18, 2005 Share Posted February 18, 2005 Clements is worth closer to $2.5 million than $540,000... We could do worse with $2.5M than NC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dave mcbride Posted February 18, 2005 Share Posted February 18, 2005 Nate is a first rounder....surely his contract was for more than 540K a season. 244675[/snapback] $540K was very likely his salary for this past year. you're not factoring in his bonus, which is prorated across the length of the contract.

When is his contract up? 244669[/snapback] http://espn.go.com/nfl/afc/draftsignings.html $540,000 was from his original rookie contract signed in 2001. As you can see, nothing states a salary escalator in the 5th yr. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
