Message: <blockquote data-quote="HardRightEdge" data-source="post: 881397">It's an interesting contract story that has nothing to do with the Packers.  Clay Matthews won't be coming back regardless.Your math is not right, it appears.  As the story goes, The Rams liability is reduced by whatever Clay gets paid elsewhere.  if somebody pays Clay $1.5 mil then the Rams pay $500,000.  If somebody pays Clay $2+ mil, the Rams pay nothing.Evidently the Rams are holding back a $2 million 2020 roster bonus or guaranteed money, it's not clear to me which. Gurley has a similar complaint.  Back in April, after Matthews filed a grievence, LA GM Snead said the money is guaranteed and will be paid with the timing specified in the contract.Florio seems to be reporting that Matthews still has not been paid based on this contract provision:“In the event Player’s Contract is terminated and Player, during 2020, has the opportunity to play for any professional organization, Club’s obligation hereunder will be reduced by the amount of any and all compensation, including but not limited to, salary and signing, reporting and/or incentive bonuses earned from any professional football organization.”<a href="https://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2020/09/10/clay-matthews-remains-open-to-playing-this-year/" target="_blank">https://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2020/09/10/clay-matthews-remains-open-to-playing-this-year/</a></blockquote>
