The Patriots showed their appreciation for veteran Lawrence Guy by turning an incentive on his contract into a guaranteed bonus, according to ESPN’s Field Yates.
In order to earn an additional $500,000, Guy initially had to play 45 percent of snaps this season. With this change, Guy – who’s currently right on the border at 45.57 percent – will receive that money even if he misses Sunday’s game against the Jets, or plays minimally, and consequently dips below 45 percent.
According to Miguel Benzan, this increases Guy’s 2023 cap number to $3,941,176. If he’s active Sunday, his cap number increases to $4 million.
