Twitter: Jerry on Cooper Rush's $250k incentive

[TheMarathonContinues]

If it's the year I'm thinking of where Sean was healthy enough to play, Sean said it was his choice not to play because he didn't think he had earned the bonus.

Yeah I know that was said in public….you just never know. Millions on the table seems like stupidity.

I don't believe he passed up 2 million dollars out of the kindness of his heart without something being agreed to later on. No way. Nobody is that nice lol.

Sean Lee wasn't like a lot of folks. Money wasn't his big motivation.

Umm yeah, $250K is a lot of money for a guy that still made $5MM over two years.

Anyone trying to rationalize this for Jerry are fools IMO.

It's a 10% bonus (annually) which is nice but I wouldn't call it proportionally a lot of money relative to his salary.

And yes I agree it's silly to try and rationalize for Jerry.

I would agree but he also signed a 42 million dollar contract. If money wasn’t a motivation he would’ve played for less….

Money isn't my main motivation, but I damn sure ain't working for less than I think I'm worth.

That’s Jerry in a nutshell-she’ll.
Some would call it shrewd.
$250,000.00 gets the Jones family another mid-size yacht from their grandson.

I mean I can see that. I don’t think money was his main motivation I think he truly loved playing. But I think he loved 2 million as well. As well as his agent lol.

Can We roll that 250K saved over to next years cap?

 

[Chasing6]

Exactly……. What a dick move screwing Rush out of his bonus.

And if it was so dam important to see Lance play, why had he been sitting on the bench for the whole dam year???

We have to save $250K and not play Rush, but we can afford to pay Trance $5.2M.

He just the GM, why would he know about such a clause?
