And you thought bonuses at AIG were excessive...

Danny Gorrer got a $35,785 "performance bonus"?

Now I -have- heard everything.

Tim Carter got over $8,000 and I think he played one game.

Randy McMichael $16,123, roughly $500 for every dropped pass.

Alex Barron $25,889, a dollar for every time he false started.

Samkon Gado got a $34,000 BONUS. He had 51 total yards last year! He averaged 1.9 yards a carry! His 2009 SEASON wasn't worth $34,000!

K.C. Asiodu got a $55,467 bonus. He had eight tackles! I'm pretty sure they were all on special teams!

Larry Grant got a bonus of over $100,000. For what?

David Roach got a bonus of nearly $125,000. For what?

Danny Amendola got the biggest bonus on the team, $176,427.

The ludicrously-named performance pay system is no longer in effect as of 2010's uncapped season, but keep this kind of silly money in the back of your mind when the players start complaining about their pay as the Great Lockout of 2011 looms.
