On March 10th of this year, the Bengals signed Antonio Bryant to a 4-year deal worth $28 million. Oh how different things were back then. That was the day the Bengals thought they found their complement to Chad Ochocinco. Things were looking up in Bengals land.
Now fast forward to today, August 31th, and look where we are. Antonio Bryant is no longer with the Bengals after being released by the team on Sunday despite never playing a down for the team. Don’t feel bad for Bryant though, he has already collected $7.85 million from the Bengals and filed a grievance for the $1.55 million he was scheduled to make in base salary.For the 172 days he was a Bengal, Bryant made $45,639.54 per day. Not a bad gig if you can get it.
Which got me thinking, what could you do with that $7.85 million Bryant collected for his short time in Cincinnati?
