The Facts:
A common thought in the football world is that players will not lose money in a lockout until the regular-season games start. But offseason workout bonuses easily could be flushed away. ESPN obtained a copy of some of the biggest workout bonuses that players have, and whom this lockout will hit in the wallet sooner rather than later.

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
Jets OT D'Brickashaw Ferguson has the biggest offseason workout bonus -- $750,000 if he participates in 85 percent of the workouts. QBs Aaron Rodgers, Eli Manning and Jay Cutler each have $500,000 offseason workout bonuses, though Rodgers must participate in 85 percent of the workouts, and Manning and Cutler 90 percent each (see the full list of bonuses
HERE). Whatever the numbers are, they are jeopardized the longer the lockout lasts. As ESPN insider Adam Schefter notes, it's just one more way that both sides in the labor dispute are taking financial hits.
