Or better yet, restructure the contract to have his salary dependent on team wins.
In 1994, the 49ers signed Rickey Jackson to a free-agent contract that had a base salary of $162,000 and a potential bonus of $838,000 ...... without the bonus, Jackson would have had to settle for that $162,000. With the bonus, Jackson would have been paid $1 Million overall.
And what was the bonus clause in Jackson's contract ??? If the 49ers made it to the Super Bowl, then Jackson would get his bonus which was more than 5 times his base salary. The 49ers won the NFC Championship that year, and Jackson got his bonus ...... if you want to see somebody be a team player, then tie up all of his bonus/incentive money into something like that and he'll be the biggest team player in the history of professional sports.
