The Buffalo Bills reportedly worked with the NFL and NFLPA to ensure defensive back Damar Hamlin receives his full salary despite being placed on injured reserve this week.
Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reported Hamlin's rookie contract contained a split clause that would cut his salary nearly in half ($825,000 to $455,000) if he was placed on injured reserve. The difference would have meant a pay cut of $20,555.56 for this week.
However, the team, league office and union worked together to ensure Hamlin would receive his full salary.
