VigilantZombie Posted July 26, 2022 Share Posted July 26, 2022 1 hour ago, Blue said: What's more embarrassing, that the team gave hundreds of millions of dollars to a guy they clearly don't trust to study on his own or that the player in question AGREED to it? Honestly... that's tough to answer. I want to say the former but the latter is an pretty embarrassing admission on Murray's part 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hypothetically let’s say it would affect 20 million of his bonus. That’s a lot of money. At the same, it would be a portion of guarantees that are $160 million. Ridicule him if you’d like. That money still makes it worth such an admission. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You don't see Tom Brady or Aaron Rodgers getting that kind of a provision in their contracts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scoundrel Posted July 26, 2022 Share Posted July 26, 2022 He can make the money without the admission. He can make the money with caring about putting in the time and the energy into being great. Why does there have to be a trade off? As Blue said you don’t see that in the contracts of the greats. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue Posted July 26, 2022 Share Posted July 26, 2022 Just to clarify: the only reason the team would put that in the contract is if he's showing up unprepared. No one is going to include a clause like that unless there's been a problem. There's no reason the team would include this that doesn't make Murray look bad. Agreeing to it is a tacit admission by Murray that they're right. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

According to Andrew Brandt, he could lose 100 million of his guaranteed money by breaching the homework clause. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't care how much money you're making, if your employer is insisting on a clause like that as a condition of employment, either you've done something to show you can't be trusted or you should look for another job.

Greater perspective. Wow.

You would be right. Yet none of us through jobs sniff this money. Even if we were the best of all time and built a family legacy beyond ourselves at a job.
