Lost in the talk about the $14,000 or so in daily fines to which Giants defensive end Michael Strahan is exposed via his non-holdout holdout is the fact that, if Strahan eventually retires, he'll owe the team a big chunk of bonus money.
Per a league source, Strahan would owe roughly $2.5 million in 2007, and another $2 million in 2008.
Factoring in his $4 million base salary over each of the next two seasons, the net cost of retirement would be in the ballpark of $6.5 million this year and $6 million next year.
