LOS ANGELES -- One freakin' yard.
For Lance Kendricks, the Los Angeles Rams' sixth-year tight end, it meant $250,000.
Kendricks finished the 2016 season with 50 catches for 499 yards. One more receiving yard would've given him 500 -- enough to trigger a $250,000 incentive, ESPN's Field Yates pointed out. It's a circumstance that probably left Kendricks lamenting the fact that he hauled in just 58.1 percent of his targets, last among the 15 tight ends who were targeted at least 80 times this season.
There were some key missed opportunities along the way.
