Ex-Bengals WR Antonio Bryant Going After More Money From Team

Posted By: SteveRobWhatever 08-30-2010 , 11:27 AM	#1

A series of ill-advised decisions didn’t give Antonio Bryant the time he needed to come back from a lingering knee injury. The veteran receiver was released by the Bengals Sunday, confirming speculation that the team would part ways with him and ending a short yet costly five-month tenure. It ended up being one of the most expensive decisions in the team’s 43 seasons of existence. Without playing a down, Bryant made $6.95 million via a $3.6 million roster bonus, $3.1 million roster bonus which was paid on March 21 and $250,000 for taking part in the team’s offseason workout program. He could be making even more after Bryant’s agent, Lamont Smith, said that the team did not approach him about an injury settlement and that they would file a grievance to get the $1.55 million in base salary he was scheduled to make. “Our position is you can’t cut a guy if he’s hurt. We know what the rules are. We expect to be paid his salary for the year,” Smith said. “He understands what his rights are. We’ve talked about it over the last three weeks and he understands it’s a business.”

It's gonna be tough for him to get signed again, I'd think. Until people can be 100% sure about that knee.
