Tamba's Suspension More Costly?

[Micjones]

The story.

Chiefs linebacker Tamba Hali’s one-game suspension and one-game fine is guaranteed to cost him $1.32 million of his $11.25 million base salary for 2012. He’ll also lose a significant chunk of guaranteed money for 2013.

A league source tells PFT that the suspension for violating the substance-abuse policy voids $7.75 million in guaranteed payments for 2013, under the terms of a contact signed in 2011. Hali is still due to earn $12.25 million, and he’ll get all of the money he’s due to receive as long as the Chiefs don’t cut him.

If the Chiefs would cut Hali, he’d become a free agent, and he’d be able to sign elsewhere.

So, what was the substance Tamba and did his all world performance of the past 3 years a result of the said substance.

Will he now lose his 'awesomeness' the way roidman did in San Diego?

You should actually read through the thread to get these answers.

If I was a mod, I'd delete this thread the moment I read this post, simply to keep you in the dark.

Oh, so Hali loses money if we decide to cut him.

Yeah, I'm really not worried about that.

You know about a month ago I got curious about exactly that and googled for a considerable amount of time.

I found a lot of "Hali wants to bring his mom to America" articles from 2005-2008, but nothing about him actually succeeding.

So what's wrong with asking a simple question based on the thread subject without having to read the thread?

That said, I agree that 32 posts should have not been a deterrent.

Not performance enhancing stuff then. At least he doesn't owe his 'talent' to roids. That's actually a bit of a relief.
