Hypothetical Debate: Superbowl Salary Bonuses
Posted on 2/3/14 at 1:51 pm
Posted on 2/3/14 at 1:51 pm
Its pretty common for NFL players to have bonuses related to playing in or making it to the super bowl.
Topic for debate: Should the Bronco's players receive this bonus.
Also: Do you think they should receive a penalty for crappy play by the Bronoco's organization?
Just some topics for debate. Im somewhere in the middle. Obviously if its in the contract, the team is going to have to pay it. Or take it to court and present a strong enough case that they don't owe the players. This won't happen, too big of a deal. The debate is for your opinion and hypothetical debate.
EDITED for those that can't read well.

If it's in their contract, then it's not up for debate. Stupid question.

You're horrible...

Players Union wont let it happen. They finally got someone with a brain running that thing. If Upshaw was still in charge, you may could get away with it. But Smith actually antagonizes the owners.

Well the XFL Championship losers didn't get any bonuses, so...

Manning's tax bill from New Jersey is more than the money he got for playing in the Super Bowl.

Yes. They played in the Super Bowl

Pragmatically speaking, if they penalize a player for poor play, not only will they need to overpay for every free agent since they'll be known for screwing people over, but they'll also catch loads of heat from at least the NFL and NFLPA.
A contract is a contract. Screwing your players isn't a good way to keep your players happy.

Absoultely. Im talking more of a down the road kind of thing. I mean as an orginazation, Denver was absolutely embarassed yesterday. There aren't many businessess that do very well by rewarding employees (or contract labor) for fiascos.
Obviously I understand they have to be paid whats in their contract. Im talking completely hypothetically, should these NFL teams start considering new bonus structures to account for incidents like this?
If the players are already guaranteed their money by getting to the game, then it doesn't matter if they shite the bed. Its similar to the players after their new contracts... How many players have you seen excel in the season immediately following the signing of their new contract.
Im just wanting to see what everyones opinion is. I've been on the fence about NFL for a while because you see players disapear after their new contract all too often.

Did the Broncos players make it to and play in the Super Bowl? Well there's your answer.

Should 30 other NFL teams be penalized for not even making it to the super bowl? Should any team that misses the playoffs be penalized? What about teams who don't finish .500?

debating your opinion and hypothetical situation of having a team get paid bonuses to suck it up and make your orginzation look bad.
Im not debating the legality of not paying them for this game. Contracts are already in place... which was stated in my original post. I get that.

Yeah, but the whole premise of the thread is like debating if a green unicorn is better looking in person than an orange unicorn.
I gave you my opinion on both of your questions, sorry you don't like them.

All you did was post what was already in the OP, that its in their contract so yea they have to be paid.
Thats not an opinion, and I don't like or dislike it.
And you gave me your opinion that im horrible. Which wasn't asked for in the OP. But thanks for wasting your time posting in a thread about unicorns.

Never said it was a waste of time - it's just a silly thread.

It may not have been conveyed in the best manner. Which is evidenced by everyone responding the same exact way. lol

There isn't really anything to debate here. They made the game, they get their bonus. It is also my opinion that this may be the worst thread in MSB history.
