Richard Sherman: 49ers paying $1 million bonus even though playing time falls short

[admin]

The contract Richard Sherman signed with the 49ers in 2018 calls for him to get a $1 million bonus if he plays in at least 90 percent of the team's defensive snaps this season. Sherman will not do that, but he'll get the money anyway. Sherman said 49ers General Manager John Lynch already told him the 49ers are going to pay him that $1 million playing time bonus, even though Sherman has already missed too many snaps for him to be able to reach 90 percent.
