If being hurt wasn’t tough enough for RG3 to handle now we know that he will also miss out on $3.5 million this season. That is a lot of cash to give up due to injury.
RG3 new contract with the Browns had a lot incentives. The basics of the contract was if RG3 performed and performed well he would be rewarded. This is based upon the number of games he started, the number of plays he played. In total RG3 had the opportunity to make $22 million based upon the contract.
Pretty fair considering the great talent RG3 is thought to be but understanding the limitation he may have after an injury prone career with Washington.
