Sean Lee listed as inactive, may miss out on $2MM clause

[BobPSU92]

See the link below. From the article:

"ARLINGTON, Texas -- Dallas Cowboys linebacker Sean Lee could miss out on a $2 million escalator on his 2016 base salary after being listed as inactive for Sunday's game because of a hamstring strain.

Lee has to play in 80 percent of the snaps in order to bump his $3 million base salary to $5 million. He entered Sunday's game against the Washington Redskins having played in 82.1 percent of the snaps. He was in uniform for a pregame workout, but it did not go well enough for him to try to play through the injury.

By not playing Sunday, Lee will fall below the threshold. The Cowboys could still give Lee the escalator anyway, though."

I hope Dallas gives him the escalator because he's a tremendous player and a good guy.

He gave up the $2 million.

Thanks PSU 91 that was interesting

That, is class.

He has ALWAYS been a class act at PSU and in Dallas.

Unfortunately he'll never get the true recognition he deserves because of his injuries.....for example, he would have been a FIRST TEAM AA at PSU without the knee injury.....maybe twice!

He is a good.....very very good.....player.

 

[PSU_1991]

Success with Honor.

Thanks for that link. Another example of Penn State's culture problem.

 

[PSU_1991]

Do you remember a story a few years ago about another PSUer who became a Cowboy and gave up some big $$$ because he couldn't play due to an injury? When Jerry Jones asked him why he would give up the $$$ even though he could have accepted it, he said that he learned from JoePa that that was the right thing to do. Ring any bells?

Having said that, I don't want the Cowboys taking any more PSUers.

 

[Ranger Dan]

I don't believe that there are many other people who would have made this decision. I hope that the Cowboys see the example that Lee made and return the gesture by giving him the money.

 

[mjh218]

Hopefully Jerry Jones ponies up and pays him

 

[Peetz Pool Boy]

The appropriate thing to do is pay him $1,000,000 or so

It's too bad that Sean wasn't supportive of JoePa when PSU and the Paterno's could have most used support from recent Paterno players.

Posnanski's book details the "salad bar" incident as well as JVP not allowing kids to use "University" pencils at home for their homework.

Thank you!

Sean is quietly shy. Not everyone needs to speak up.

It's not like he said nothing. He fell in line with the sheeple.

That's not an excuse. There's right and there is wrong. If SL is ok with the public having the wrong impression of Joe Paterno, then he's just another nameless, faceless guy that gets paid millions for playing a game on Sunday to me.

I'm not "pure" enough to pass any judgement as to what Sean Lee should or shouldn't have said at the time. It's really immaterial.

Please clean the turd out of my pool "Pool Boy". You are in a defenseless position here. Sean Lee is a Sheep.

I don't have a problem with his statements. You should note that it was the author of the article that inserted Joes name. Sean, in referring to "they" was probably referring to CSS.

 

[Nittany Ziggy]

So you are a mind reader AND agree with his "presumed" statement regarding CSS?

No, but he didn't throw Joe under the bus either. Hence why I don't have a problem with his statement.

thanks for the articles Zig....I always liked Lee, and I always liked Matt Millen & Clark. Both were great athletes at Penn State, also both had the opportunity to defend JoPa and for some reason both of them couldn't find the intestinal fortitude to do so.

Thanks for the reminder Zig,
Tom

Intestinal fortitude, Cajones, FAITH? Whatever it is, those guys are missing it!

Buy the way, GO STEELERS, not a great fan of the Eagles, they seldom recruit our PSU student athletes.

RETRACTION IS CALLED FOR BY LEE.
Lee, is a professional, I'm a professional. If I'm miss quoted by the press, I want a retraction of explanations by the author.
