KC Warpaint 3,234 Posted January 1, 2018 Share Posted January 1, 2018 When players constantly tell you there’s no loyalty in sports and it’s a business, this is exactly what they mean. Jamaal Charles hasn’t played as much as he would’ve liked during the 2017 season, but he did have the opportunity to score the big cash during this dreadful season. That was until the franchise stepped in and made sure he didn’t. The Denver Broncos RB had a chance to earn $100,000 for 500 yards from scrimmage, but the team elected to throw a monkey wrench in those plans by making him inactive for the final two games of the season. Via Broncos Wire: “According to Charles’ contract details (published by KUSA-TV’s Mike Klis), the running back could have earned up to $1.25 million worth of incentives this season based on his performance. The first bonus would have been $100,000 for 500 yards from scrimmage. Charles needed to average just 37.5 yards per contest in Denver’s final two games to reach that first incentive. Now he won’t even get an opportunity to. He’ll also miss out on a $156,250 bonus for dressing in the team’s final two games ($78,125 per game).” This is not a good look by the franchise and Charles has been very critical of the team for the way he has been treated in Mile High. Via Denver Post” “I ain’t playing. Might as well. No reason for me to just sit around and look at people play,” . “At the end of the day, I just got to see what’s the future for me. That’s the next step. If it’s somewhere else or if somebody wants to pick me up. That’s the future. “I thought we were all going to get a chance to share the ball. I never got a chance to be in the first 15, and it sucks,” Charles said. “How the other running backs — like I look around and see the Patriots share the running backs and New Orleans. You know what I’m saying? I just never got an opportunity.” The dirty side of the business can be very sketchy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
