Kipers Hair Posted April 21, 2009 Posted April 21, 2009 There could be a slight misunderstanding - TO's contract might give him a bonus if he does not get at least 90 LOOKS - the catches are generally up to him for which the team has not control over....
Buffalo Destroyers! Posted April 21, 2009 Posted April 21, 2009 Typical "friend of a friend heard from so-and-so" thing, so take it with a full sized helping of salt: Friend of a friend was speaking to the father of someone involved with the Bills. The person stated that T.O.'s contract contains a provision wherein he will receive a million dollar bonus if he gets less than 90 catches. I challenged this saying "you or this guy probably misunderstood and it's a bonus for 90 or more catches, not less" and he replied that he was certain this is what he was told. Have any of you ever seen a contract that paid a bonus if the team didn't get you enough carries, catches, snaps, etc? Sounds like total BS to me, or at least a complete misunderstanding, as I would almost expect there is a bonus for him to have 90 or more. Maybe its a million if he catches under 90 and 3 mill is he catches more than 90
TheLynchTrain Posted April 21, 2009 Posted April 21, 2009 Obviously this isnt true, but who wouldnt be happy if the dude got 89 catches? I personally have the feeling that TO is going to join the Buffalo classic outcomes...he'll get injured week 4
SKOOBY Posted April 21, 2009 Posted April 21, 2009 It's true...I read it in a Bazooka Joe Comic Me too, It was that little girl with the frizzy black hair that told me .
yall Posted April 21, 2009 Author Posted April 21, 2009 So he gets to 89 catches, what is his incentive to catch another pass? Does that kind of a clause make any sense at all? C'mon man, you actually posted this? As you can clearly see from the original post, I didn't believe it at all. The question was: have you ever heard of a stipulation like that in a contract?
