Raiders restructure Gannon's contract

Ugly Duck · 09-10-2004, 08:20 AM

See? He's not like you Cheiftains say. He's a team player - willing to sacrifice for the good of the many. And you guys call him RedButt:

The Raiderz' quarterback, whom many thought would be shown the door when a younger and cheaper Kerry Collins was signed in May, ensured his job security this week by agreeing to restructure a burdensome $7 million base salary, converting $2.5 million of that total into unlikely-to-be reached playing time and performance incentives that require him to exceed by 50 percent last season's injury marred totals. If Gannon does reach the incentives, the $2.5 million wouldn't be applied to the cap until the end of the regular season.

If I recall correctly, it was his Raider teammates that dropped the nom "Red-Ass Rich" on him.

Eleazar · 09-10-2004, 08:26 AM

Did they get an arm installed on him yet?

Don't worry. Shawn Barber will take care of old B#tch again and make sure he saves old Al Davis some money this year

how generous going from 7M to 4.5M...I guess it's better than 0M.

BigChiefFan · 09-10-2004, 08:40 AM

Red Ass Rick is still a tool.

**Rain Man** · 09-10-2004, 09:36 AM

Is he changing his name to Notsorich?

Mark M · 09-10-2004, 09:49 AM

So ... does he get a bonus for not throwing more TDs to the opposing team than he does his own?

Nonsense. They got to keep Elvis Grbac, didn't they?

I hope the league looks at this as easily reachable stats, and applies it right back onto the salary cap.

Aren't our resident Raider fans pathetic? Wouldn't you think they would check our record against them for the last 10 years. Something like 19-1. Yeah, we really need Richie red ass.

memyselfI · 09-11-2004, 08:33 AM

I think this was planned from the get go. Al gives Rich a chance to 'win' his starting job back and if he does Rich gives him the 'restructure' he needed. The way it's set up and if Gannon reaches his incentives it's win/win for all...

Uh, no. Al's telling Red @ss, "You're arm has more miles on it than WTI's recently buried 88 Corolla, and carries the same blue book value. Rich, can I interest you in a nice wooden box in which to enshrine your career? I'll leave room for the two Pro Bowl MVP trophies your fans clamor so much about."

Wow, then AL is crazier than we thought...paying someone $4.5 MILLION dollars to tell him he's finito.
