I don't remember seeing anything on this back in January but I like the approach....pay for performance. Maybe next season he was do the same with the receivers and get some of those drops dealt with.

Smoke and mirrors.

They both did indeed have base salary reduced, i.e. a "pay cut," but then that exact same amount of money was moved to "Likely to be Earned" incentives which basically means that if they stay on the roster, they will get paid.

I had not actually known about the contract changes until you mentioned it and I looked them up today because the reported contract numbers never changed. Teams have to included "Likely To Be Earned" incentive numbers in their contract numbers for salary cap purposes but do not have to include "Unlikely To Be Earned" incentive numbers.

My guess is that Ballard was unsure if either of them would stick on the roster over the course of the season and was looking for a way to recoup some money if they did not.

I agree that this seems unncessary but based on how Glowinski is playing, there is zero chance of him not being on the squad at the end of the season (unless he is on IR).

Good? That boy needs to get healthy and on the field.

Good find but, ultimatly, if both men play the season, they will probably get paid about the same as they would have.

Glowinski? He keep playing this way, he will be earning a veteran's starter contract at the end of the season.

Walk Worthy,
