Cost Avoidance - NFL style

June 15th, 2007 at 06:49am David Bush - Iasta

Clipped from a recent story (and discovered by Tony Poshek) on ESPN, Raiders WR - Jerry Porter has elected not to spend $210,000 to switch his number back to #84 from #81, which he currently has as a result of his malcontent behavior from last season. He would have to pay this amount to Reebok and the team as a result of unsold jerseys that have been printed with his current number. Porter eloquently remarked, “Man, there’s a couple of nice cars I’d like to get for that money,” Porter said. “I could buy a nice vacation home, or at least go half on one with someone else.”

That is sheer brilliance and a budding superstar in spend, errr..supply management!
