Mike Wallace is over 250lbs. Glad we skipped.

Wait... the tweet you posted said “If” he weighs 250 not that he did. Or are you leaving out the fact he ended up failing to get the bonus as well?

He's listed at 200 pounds, keep telling yourself that the Torrey Smith trade was smart

this post is still more valid than the hourly WHO WOULD YOU DRAFT post

I saw this tweet earlier and knew it was a "click-bait" tweet. You posted it as if he failed to meet the condition?

Well either they put that there for a reason, or it's just a creative cap trick.

This time last year the Panthers were trotting out a 300 pound wide receiver so uh

It doesnt say he is over 250, just saying that if he is less that 250 he will collect an easy check.

I mean regardless Wallace wouldn't have signed here....

Yeah someone read this wrong. He isn’t 250 lbs. he is listed at 200. The contract says he must be under. 250 lbs. to get the bonus. Basically it’s there So he can get an easy bonus because it’s very hard to gain 50 pounds in a offseason. Also bonuses count against the cap differently so it’s possible it was written in to help save cap room.

It seems weird for them to write in a conditional guarantee like that if there was no cause for concern. Is that common practice? Does CMC, Byrd, Munnerlyn, etc. likely have something similar written into their contracts?

I mean I get that there needs to be some incentive to keep these guys in shape during the off-season, but even so, 250 pounds seems like an awfully high bar for Mike Wallace. Plus, if this is common practice, why is Adam Schefter tweeting about it like it’s newsworthy?

It was specifically arranged to get him some extra cash that works around the cap. Basically something that was agreed upon only because the weight was so preposterously high
