While the New England Patriots under head coach and de facto general manager Bill Belichick have earned a reputation for running a tight financial ship, they have also regularly shown in the past that they are willing to invest in their talent. This does not just come in the form of signing players to record-breaking deals — just ask Tom Brady, Rob Gronkowski, Vince Wilfork or Logan Mankins — but also their handling of contract incentives.
The latest example for the latter is defensive tackle Lawrence Guy, who had his pact adapted today in order to make it easier for him to earn its full value.
