So why wouldn't the rest of our key players with multiple years left on their previously-negotiated contracts just bitch for similar incentives? Apparently, it works in Carolina. 

Because they didn't name their kid after the owner, and obviously don't have as strong ties to the Panthers organization as Greg Olsen.

Greg Olsen gets an extra $2M in incentives. Can hit them by reaching benchmarks in catches, rcvg yards, yds per catch and indiv. honors.

ha...

first reception of the season for 1 yard @ 1 yard per catch for a personal record of shortest reception of his career = incentives met.

cha ching!

Marty Hurney hired in part to clean up the Thomas Davis and Greg Olsen situations. Check and check.

I'm not sure how to take this comment.  Is this a one time thing or is it added on each year for the remainder of the contract?   To me it seems like much to do about nothing if that's all he wanted.  Hard to believe Dave would balk at that.

    • The year he had another edge rusher opposite him in Reddick, Reddick ended up having more sacks. Burns was good at rushing the passer here but he was taken out of plays far too often by a single TE or you'd never even known he was in the game at all.  The Rams offer was equivalent to prime Khalil Mack or a TJ Watt. Those guys single handedly took over games and stopped drives. I can't remember a game Burns ever did that. Do we wish we had the level of production hes giving right now? Of course. Do I think we'd have it here. No.  At the time, his production was on par with Reddick, not Parsons. Pay production and incentivise potential. 
    • Technically our guys are in the top 6 in sacks for rookies and Scourton is tied for the lead.
    • That's why so many said he wasn't worth it here, there was only DB and it wasn't enough. If Burns is feasting then the other guys in NY are doing enough already, Burns is just collecting the stats. It's what he eas built for and is finally in his perfect space to succeed. Im not as in on the new guys yet. More is an understatement but the good news is that they are rookies.
