"Obviously, we get paid well," the veteran quarterback said. "Coaches get paid. You’ll see some support staff, some of these guys get paid very well. However, these other people that do a lot for us — what do you wanna help contribute to them to just say thank you? So, all this is Christmas bonuses. This is something we’ve done every year. Everyone has a sheet. It’s all gonna add up. All of our money goes into that pot.
"Give more to the guys that work with you. The guy that’s snapping the ball with the O-line. Guy that’s holding the dummies for D-line. The guys that take care of your equipment where they clean your locker. That’s an opportunity to give them more. The gist of this, once again, is not to make it too hard."
