Mmm - you're right Sham. Those $250K offseason workout attendance bonus's Hunt gave up every year.

It certainly seems to be a loophole. I'm surprised teams don't make more use of them. I wonder why...especially for a guy like Gardner. I tend to think the NFLPA would have something to say if teams started making heavy use of them.

Hunts $250k as I recall was contingent on spending a certain number of days in GB participating in their workout program. If iw related to attending 10 or 12 days of 14 inthe OTAs, perhaps it would have been more "worth it" to him. .

However, I think there is a maximum bonus amount for off season participation, so maybe you could never get high enough to entice a guy like Hunt to participate!

Hey, that's thinking outside the box! A little reefer might lure some of those no-shows. Sort of goes along with my idea for a vacation/training camp in HAwaii. What's done in Hawaii stays in Hawaii.
