[NFL!] Hernandez's contract guarantees voided
Aaron Hernandez's contract guarantees voided by Patriots
http://t.co/s3Z3sb72qT
The New England Patriots have voided all of Aaron Hernandez's contract
guarantees, according to a source informed of the Patriots decision-making
and a NFL Players Association source, meaning the former tight end will have
to fight to receive even the portion of his signing bonus that he's already
earned.
Hernandez was to receive $2.5 million in guaranteed base salaries over the
next two seasons, and his contract does not have language to void that money
if he fails to practice. However, the Patriots believe the Collective
Bargaining Agreement covers them because he has engaged in conduct unbecoming
after being arrested and charged with first-degree murder in the death of
Odin Lloyd.
The Patriots also voided Hernandez's workout bonuses over the next two years,
which add up to $1 million. Finally, the team has voided the rest of his
signing bonus, which might be the Patriots' hardest fight.
As for his $3.25 million in signing bonus payment that was to be paid this
March, that's a deferred payment that Hernandez already earned after signing
his five-year, $40 million contract last year. The Patriots appear to have a
serious uphill battle to avoid paying this, but they seem set on making
Hernandez fight for this portion of his fully guaranteed signing bonus.
The Boston Globe, which first reported this news, says the Patriots will have
a salary-cap hit of $2.55 million for Hernandez next year and $7.5 million in
2014.
