I get the frustration but the signing bonuses are a sunk cost no matter who plays now.
Mitchell got 63K upfront, 148K overall, so $85K for the season, ~$4.7K per game
JJones got 15K upfront, 120.5K overall, so $105K for the season, ~$5.8K per game.
It's game 1, so $10.5K to sit.
*numbers from 3downnation so who knows if accurate
Sorry. I'm an accountant.
FWIW I really want to see JJones play and would prefer him on the roster. Hope he gets in soon.
Mitchell it sucks to burn the bonus money but whichever of the 3 vet receivers brought in showed the most in camp gets to play.
Overall much better depth position than last year at receiver and LB.
