Can't tell you how much I appreciate this post !!!

Best of luck this weekend brother
 
Next step would be, do we know which coaches or QBs traditionally make a point to try and get players their bonuses. I know there are some (Baker?) who really make it a point.

🤔🤔🤔🤔
That could be huge ...Some of these players and coaches have waffled on "going for the $$" in the final week. One season going for it , the next season sitting or whatever.
I'm hesitant, but always interested in these scenarios. Especially with the teams that have been winning lately with technically nothing to play for .
