Keep Adrian and you let him go??

What the heck man?

 

[adbutcher]

How much did he make?

 

[AtlCB]

Can we fire Rowdy?

 

[trickblue]

Can we fire Rowdy?

Rowdy should not be fired... he should just "disappear"...

 

[DFWJC]

If true....Idiot

Unless his real job also pays him much more

 

[gambit187]

How much did he make?

Reportedly he was getting $1,500 per home game and wanted around $20,000 per home game...his deal was signed in 1994

I don't know that many real jobs that gives you access to NFL games and pays you $1,500 to act out for the fans.

thats only 160,000 did he want a 10 year contract?

Probably sounded great 20 years ago. Still sounds fun, but, for example, if that guy had a decent career and has a family 100 miles away, 1500 per game (or most of a day) may no longer be worth it to him.

Seemed like a fun gig! I wonder if he also had other obligations to go with it.

Plus...how did this get to 1.6 mil...sounds like 160k

Honestly not sure how long he wanted only the salary rate.I wish i knew what the Vikings had offered though. The $1.6 million probably came from it being a 10 year contract

He screwed the pooch by being too greedy. He should have asked for cost of living and apparell raises, I mean Viking decor has to be a hard find.

 

[YosemiteSam]

Wow.

From all reports he had/has a very successful family run business. Now I know $1,500 was the old price but to be honest $20,000 was way too much. He watched the game from home in his recliner. I would have taken $2,000-$3,000 per home game and called it a BLESSING.

No.

Which mascot set the market?

That's the question that needs to answered.

Who's his agent?

 

[Longboysfan]

Did he own the rights to the mascot uniform?

 

[Idgit]

I wonder where they're going to find another biker with a long beard willing to ride his bike on the field at home games for less than a $1.6MM dollars.

 

[erod]

Vikings conquer, burn, rape, and plunder.

He was in full character when he made this demand.

 

[dfense]

He can always trim it up a little, get a prospector hat and head to SanFrancisco.

He tried pulling a Demarco Murray for money.
