Patriots defensive tackle Lawrence Guy and running back James White both just missed hitting performance bonuses in their contracts
Chase Winovich NFL Draft , but the team has decided to pay those bonuses anyway.Guy is getting a $400,000 bonus and White is getting a $250,000 bonus,
Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.Guy’s contract called for a $400,000 bonus
if he played at least 50 percent of the Patriots’ defensive snaps. He ended up
playing 519 out of the Patriots’ 1
Chase Winovich Buffalo Bills Jersey ,043 defensive plays, meaning he fell just three snaps short. The Patriots figured three snaps over a full season
wasn’t enough to quibble over, so they gave him the $400,000.White’s contract
called for a $250,000 bonus if he totaled 1
Color Rush Chase Winovich Jersey ,200 yards from scrimmage. He finished the season with 1,176 yards from scrimmage. Again, the Patriots figured that a difference
of 1.5 yards per game over a 16-game season was close enough.Although the
Patriots didn’t have to pay those bonuses, it’s probably smart to do so. A
$650,000 hit on the salary cap is tiny compared to the loyalty it engenders when
players feel like the team is going to reward them for a solid year

and/or that part of everyone that sees news like this and their first reaction
is OH COME ON, MAN.Author’s note: if you’d like to continue enjoying your
Memorial Day weekend, maybe just save this one until Tuesday morning when you’re
slogging through emails or thinking about skipping class.Patriots tight end and
all-around good guy Ben Watson just dropped the news that he will spend the
first four games of the 2019 NFL season...not on the field, because he’ll be
suspended for testing positive for a banned substance.Rather than wait for the
NFL to drop the news and make excuses later
Womens Chase Winovich Jersey , Watson explained what went down on his Facebook page on Sunday, and it goes something like this:(We’ll just quote the whole
thing, because if he thought it was important enough, cherry-picking quotes
seems like a disservice)The “in spite of the circumstances” part in particular
jumps out; Belichick & co knew that Watson was staring down a suspension and
decided it wasA) worth signing Ben anyway, andB) given that they signed Ben well
after the draft was over
Authentic Chase Winovich Jersey , they’re OK going into the season with the tight end depth chart as it was before he signed.Also, according to NESN, Watson says
he won’t appeal the suspension.We’ll update this post with more deets if/when
they’re available.
