Antonio Bryant — How to Make $8 million the Easy Way

 

Jan. 03, 2010 - St. Petersburg, Florida, USA - DANIEL WALLACE | Times.TP_316732_WALL_Bucs_23 (01/03/2010 Tampa) Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Antonio Bryant (89) reacts to not completing a third-down pass under pressure from Atlanta Falcons cornerback Brent Grimes (20) during the third quarter.

During the off-season, the Cincinatti Bengals wanted to add a receiver to Chad 85.  So, they signed Antonio Bryant to a 4-year, $28 million contract with about $8 million guaranteed.  A lingering knee injury has ended his Bengals career, resulting in 0 games…0 snaps with the team. 

Antonio Bryant is not the dimwit in this story.  He and his agent found a way to make a lot of money without doing much of anything.  But, if I’m Bengals GM Mike Brown, I’m hoping that the play of Terrell Owens and draft pick Jordan Shipley makes everyone forget that he ever signed Bryant to such a contract.
