How does benching him to avoid injury save them money? I thought they intended to cut him.

There is another chunk of money that becomes guaranteed if he fails a physical. So, the fact that he is healthy now means he won't fail a physical down the road. It's really no different than benching your starters once out of the playoffs to keep them healthy, but in this instance, it ensures that the Broncos won't have to pony up a big chunk of salary because he got hurt playing in one of the two remaining meaningless games.Sibelius Hindemith wrote: ↑Thu Dec 28, 2023 7:08 pmHow does benching him to avoid injury save them money?

I'll take a look, but if you found the salary cap stuff confusing i'm not going to make any sense of it because i'm illiterate on matters of finance.D-train wrote: ↑Thu Dec 28, 2023 7:09 pmRead the CBS article I posted.Sibelius Hindemith wrote: ↑Thu Dec 28, 2023 7:08 pmHow does benching him to avoid injury save them money?

This part isn't all that confusing though. It is literally just a clause that guarantees more of his money if he fails a physical. Which they fear would happen if he gets hurt in one of the next two games.Sibelius Hindemith wrote: ↑Thu Dec 28, 2023 7:35 pm

I’m in that .1% I guess.D-train wrote: ↑Wed Dec 27, 2023 10:51 pmYeah I saw a post from somebody that probably made $50k a year saying that they felt sorry for him. There is less than .1% of the population that would not trade places with him right now.trharder wrote: ↑Wed Dec 27, 2023 10:14 pmYes RW lost touch. He always was a cringy nerdy dude. I hope he can settle into his role as dad and get over himself. He seems to have beautiful family to spend his time with while also spending his millions.Michael K. wrote: ↑Wed Dec 27, 2023 9:26 pm
His ego might have grown regardless of how she acts or acted. He felt like he was a celebrity, not just an NFL QB. He isn't, and he wasn't.
So you’re saying there’s no chance he comes back to Seattle?
