Danny's Annual Pay Cut

Danny Amendola is a great example of a player who signed a long term contract, but never saw all the money. It's always a farce for most players.

He was billed as the replacement for Wes Welker when he signed his 5 year/$31 million contract in 2013.

He was forced to take a pay cut last year to $1.6 million to stay on the roster. His 2017 salary of $6 million was never going to happen. Instead, he reduced it to $1.7 million, including bonuses and incentives.

The best part for him is the $1.25 million base salary is fully guaranteed. He will be a free agent after this season and facing the end of the road.
