Maybe you know more details... but what all does burfict stand to lose being suspended.. I know game checks obviously but we had clauses in his contract to protect us.
Or does it just give us an out with no bad debt?
He's going to lose about $1.8 million.
The Bengals aren't really paying him anything if he doesn't play. Any suspensions he incurs (or, frankly, injuries he suffers that keep him out) comes out of his pocket alone. The only "dead money" you'll see the Bengals on the hook for via the salary accounting sites are just that...it's accounting. His signing bonus was paid out within 20 days of him signing the deal last year.
