OT: Randy Bullock soaking the Giants, will get $675K for one game

[ctpatsfan77]

Bengals K Randy Bullock will use NFL rule to take money from Giants

BTW . . . when we talk about vet salaries being guaranteed, this is what it's all about.

 

[PatsDeb]

Good for him. Lord knows we don't want anyone getting away with not complying with the collective bargaining agreement, eh Rog & Wellington?

 

[WaterfallJumper]

I am in the wrong profession.

Giants should have been smarter

So his pay with the Steelers and Bengals won't offset a portion of it - the Giants are required to pay the full salary? Wow, nice to see the players actually negotiated something good for them in their CBA....

The fact that a player's salary is only guaranteed week to week (beyond the guaranteed money) is what should be mind boggling. I understand not guaranteeing a player's salary for the entire contract but once you play one game, the entire year should be guaranteed and not just a once in a lifetime thing either.

There isn't a rule prohibiting salary guarantees, but, yeah, that's what happens when you have the largest rosters and a hard salary cap.

Over 100K for each of his made kicks. Not bad work, if you can get it. Good for him.

 

[Mike the Brit]

I don't see him as "soaking" the Giants. I think that vet salaries should be guaranteed. And, compared to the other kinds of "dead money" that teams accumulate, 675k is not much.

Maybe it's the fact that he's a kicker that is making people think it's a rip-off, but most NFL careers are very short, the players generally have very few other marketable skills and the chances of physical and mental damage are extreme.

Pay him!

This might come off as making fun of you, but it is not. (Heck, I think you may feel the same way I do...)
I find it hard to cry for that stupid POS, Mara.

 

[AtomicDawg]

Good for him! They set up the system, you use it.

And he needs all that money, because, frankly, he sucks.

yeah its their own fault, you cant see BB doing something like that

 

[oldrover]

Mara, suck it and...



...pay that man his money.

No question, choosing a vested veteran for a game 1 only kicking gig doesn't seem terribly strategic.

 

[The Boston Patriot]

Chump change to the billionaires. They won't blink an eye over it. Hell they spent over 5 million to rake Brady over the coals and didn't so much as blink so this doesn't even appear on their radar. The fact that it's the Giants is nice though.

From ownership on down there is no bigger, entitled, " we'll do whatever the f### we want, when we want" outfit than the Dwarfs. No consequences , no sanctions, no problems. We're the Maras!

Eh really doesn't happen that often, gets hyped up to be a much bigger thing on this forum than that it really is.
