There would be exactly ZERO issues with regard to his bonus if there weren't the locker room issues (which may or may not be greatly overblown).
I don't think it's necessarily a problem with his bonus, it's just that 2/3 of his salary is due on Saturday, so they're obviously not going to pay that if they don't plan on keeping him.
I disagree with you about the locker room issues, and feel that it would be more about his limitations with YACs and intermediate routes. Of course we've heard rumors and posters have speculated on both sides, so we may never know the truth.
By the way, good call on the Welker to DEN concerns. I personally thought that they received pretty decent value from Stokely last year, despite his age, but for a 2/12 contract--why not, right? At any rate, you called it a few weeks ago and were correct.
