Rumor about T.O.'s contract and it's stipulations

[Kipers Hair]

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....

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

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

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 .

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?
