New Signings!?!? (Brunell Restructures)

What does he have to do to meet his incentives, hit the broad side of a barn...? lol

Either way, I agree with those of you that said he was a classy guy. He did this for the team. He adjusted one years salary in a year he knows he wont be starting. This gives him the option to make his normal pay the following year, if for some reason he does become a starter again. That isnt meant to start an argument, but he beleives he should be a starter so this ensures that if he does what he thinks he can, then he will get paid for it, otherwise hes helping the team out.

Actually that's not quite how it works. He can meet his incentives by sitting on the bench all year and watching Ramsey improve the team's offense from the 30th rank to the 29th. The incentives are team based; they don't revolve around Brunell's personal performance.

Basically, it's a way that the team can just ask him to move his salary back one year. But he doesn't really have to "earn" it.

That said, it's kinda cool to see a "team" incentive in a contract. This way, whether Brunell is playing or not, he'll be rooting for the team to improve. If the incentive was one based on Brunell's performance, you'd create an individualist mindset in him, and he might do some griping about not getting to start. But with this incentive, as far as his finances are concerned, he won't have his own personal agenda.

Smart contract work, Redskins!

Yeah, more teams should have team incentives. Then, people won't end up like Troy Brown! Sacrifice a shot at those incentives by playing on the other side of the ball and then have your organization show no gratitude and cut you.
