The Vikings have let Troy Williamson know they clearly were not on board with his decision to return home last week to tend to family issues. The wide receiver, who missed three practices as well as Sunday's game against San Diego, has been informed he will not be paid for the week.
Williamson returned to the team Wednesday, but it's unclear if he will play Sunday at Green Bay.
Players are paid on a 17-week basis, 16 games plus the bye, meaning that Williamson stands to lose $25,588.24 of his $435,000 base salary. He can file a grievance through the NFL Players Association, but that won't be a quick process.
My response:
This is a bad move on the Vikings part. What in the world are they thinking?
