Quote:When first signed, the media reported the contract as the standard rookie package, without any specific "offset" language.  That being the case, the team has no legal recourse for recovery of any bonus money.  Everything paid to date is untouchable, though the suspension would void future (2014 & 2015) salary guarantees.  

actually there's been several articles, including ozone articles that have said that any money that wasn't guaranteed money can be recouped, but the process of recouping that money apparently is painstakingly long, in part, because he's likely already spent that money. 

 

He had clauses in his contract that has been mentioned plenty of times that says we don't pay him a dime if he has further violations, so we basically paid him for the games he was back last year and that was it.
