Tampa Bay Buccanneers pass receiver Antonio Brown is not only back on the sidelines after serving a suspension for using a phony vaccine card, however he might likewise make another million dollars.
According to U.S.A. Today’s Chris Bambuca:
Brown’s agreement includes a trio of performance-related rewards at $333,3333 each for reaching statistical plateaus in receptions, getting backyards, and goals. None of the standards are unattainable, specifically with quarterback Tom Brady tossing to a beleaguered receiving corps that will lack Chris Godwin (provided for the season with a torn ACL) and Mike Evans (hamstring) versus the Carolina Panthers.
Brown goes into Sunday with 29 receptions. If he can protect 21 more catches over the last 3 games, he’ll make $333,333. With 418 getting backyards, he gets another $333,333 at the 600-yard mark, per Spotrac.
Brown hauled in 4 goals in his first six games of the season before a sprained ankle cost him more than a month before the vaccination concern. If he can get to the end zone three more times, that’s will trigger a $333,333 reward. Should the Buccaneers raise the Lombardi Trophy for the second straight season, and Brown plays more than 45% of the Super Bowl snaps, he could make another $250,000.

)Brown was offered a firm, zero-tolerance policy by the Bucs when they signed him in 2020, stressing that if the star receiver became an interruption or even worse, he would be gone. However, with Tampa contending for playoff positioning and dealing with injuries to other star gamers, Bucs coach Bruce Arians informed the media last week that he might “offer a sh * t” about those faulting him for going back on his zero-tolerance policy with Brown.
