ALLEN PARK, Mich. -- The numbers are often thrown out to the public when a player signs a contract – X amount of years for X million dollars – and often, those players don’t see the full life of the deal. It’s one of the common and underreported things during every NFL offseason.
But there’s another part of it, too – a part that could come into play for some of the 53 men on Detroit’s roster Sunday against Green Bay.
Incentives, in some deals, are used to push a player or reward him for reaching goals.
