Someone please correct me if I'm wrong, because I really hope that I am....
But the article I read said that Watson will miss SIX of his $57,500 game checks for a total of $345,000 of his $1.035 million base salary.
He just signed the largest guaranteed contract in American Sports history at $230 million.
Was the $1.035 million part of his previous salary, and the $230 million was an extension after signing with Cleveland......or did they somehow fucking work into his contract a 1st year salary of $1.035 million when the 2023 and 2024 figures are $46 million and $44.965 million respectively?
I really hope they didn't make it so any suspension wouldn't cost him but a drop in the bucket...because that's despicable (one of many aspects of this case).
That is exactly what they did. Big signing bonus plus $1 million salary for 2022 season. Yes exactly designed to minimize the financial hit from suspension this year.
