[QUOTE="vixtalkn, post: 11950, member: 81"] Florio makes an excellent argument about the bonus money. As a caveat, fed-up-fans and sports writers also should dispel this notion that guys like Walker, for example, have "outperformed" their contract. One does not or cannot "outperform" a contract. For one, Walker is only half way through the 6-year contract he signed in 2002. He's only "halfperformed" at this point, not "outperformed." For two, if anything, it's the Packers, not Walker, who have outperformed their half of the contract. They paid Walker a large portion of the 6-year money as a signing bonus before Walker even caught one football. But, this is what the Packers agreed to do, so, in essence, they simply performed their half of the bargain, not outperformed. Be reminded that if guys like Walker agree to catch footballs and score touchdowns for six years for a sum certain, he performs that contract by catching footballs and scoring touchdowns for six years. Insofar as Walker may have exceeded his own expectations by catching as many balls and scoring as many touchdowns as he has at this point, he is simply doing what he agreed to do. He might deserve more money compared to other guys who get paid more to do the same thing, but he doesn't deserve more money because he "outperformed." My two cents. [/QUOTE]
