By all accounts Chad Henne has been working his but off in the off season to get better.
And he should being this is a contract year for him.
Considering this is the last year of a 4 year $3.5 Million dollar contract, he has a chnace to make a lot more of Stephen Ross's money.
If he fails this year he is probably done as a starter in Miami and possibly everwhere else.
That means he could stay in the league as a backup for the next 4-6 years and possible make $5-10 Million for his entire pro career. Not exactly chump change to us but not very good for a QB in the NFL.
If he is successful this year (I would say a winning record would accomplish that) then he would be a free agent and could be looking at being franchised by Miami or possibly landing a $30-50 Million contract. That contract could lead to others down the road as starter and even more money.
So in a nutshell his performance this year could determine whether he makes $5-10M as a Pro or $50-100M.
He definitely has something to play for this year.
I sure hope he gets it right.
