That’s not even the most questionable sports contract buyout in New York. The Mets are paying Bobby Bonilla through 2035, when he’ll be 72 years old. He hasn’t been a Met since the Clinton administration.

Yeah, but still thats even more nuts than bryz lol

I don't see what is nuts about it. it really sucks for the player.

How? He got incredibly handsome compensation for whatever it is team saw in him.

Yes but that money is 2/3rds of what he would have gotten over double the length in which he would've gotten it.
so instead of 36 mill he gets 24 mill over 16 years. brutal

Oh yeah that's so brutal it makes me weep with empathy for this poor man's life.

imagine having 1/3rd of your salary taken from you , and instead of getting paid every 2 weeks you get paid once a month? It would suck

For a chance to retire at 32? I'll take that and run. Probably to Argentina same time zone, place is cheap and people are nice.

JTown you argue some of the strangest things on this website. Dipietro couldn’t even play any more. Islanders had to buy him out with what was agreed upon within the CBA which the players sign off on. So there no remorse. He made out extremely well and is still gettin paid handsomely in retirement. It was part of the deal.

I don’t want to hear your takes on NFL contracts lol

 

[GapToothedWonder]

I look at it as getting an unbelievable severance package vs losing a 1/3rd of a salary that he never should have been given.

I woulsnt necessarily mind in this scenario, since I would no longer be having to work to earn it.

Have you ever looked at the deal Atlanta gave Bruce Sutter in 1985? Now there's a deferred deal where it makes sense for the player if you're not in desperate need of immediate liquidity. His agent even got exclusively increasing interest upscaling.

 

[deadhead]

Another way to look at deferred payments is forced savings in your 20s for the person you'll be in your 40s.

looks like he got 8 percent with no compounding. nothing to get giddy over.

If he was actually capable at playing even HALF as well, we could still be earning an NHL salary while enjoying that severance package.

Brent Sopel was actually talking about it on Spittin Chiclets the other day. Said Wang loved him.

i was looking back at that finals series and didn't realize he was the 5th dman. I thought he was lower than that. Also Danny Briere had 12 points in 6 games that series. JFC.

Yup and then in the KHL 15 months later.

12.3% with an upward scaling clause after the first 6 years and every dollar guaranteed at signing for a 32 year old Relief Pitcher in 1985.

The most interesting part of the contemporary framing was that it was a bet on a discussed flat income tax being in place by the time the principal was due.
