Non-Football Injury To Cost Pace
16th November, 2005 - 4:19 pm
ESPN - Arizona Cardinals defensive end Calvin Pace, who is on the non-football injury list after suffering a severely lacerated forearm during a bye week accident last month, will not be paid his base salary for the balance of the season.

League and team sources confirmed that the Cardinals have opted, as is their prerogative for players on the non-football injury list, to withhold $306,544 of Pace's scheduled base salary of $473,750 for the 2005 season. That represents 65 percent of Pace's base salary.

Further, the team is expected to seek reimbursement for a prorated portion of the $2.1 million signing bonus that Pace received as a first-round choice in the 2003 draft. That could amount to approximately $271,000 more in penalties. [READ]
