THE SIDELINES : QB Sues Colts for $50,000
Chris Chandler, the Indianapolis Colts’ unhappy quarterback, filed a lawsuit today seeking a $50,000 workout bonus he says the team owes him.
The suit, filed in Marion County Court, also seeks to have his contract with the NFL team rescinded.
Chandler reported for training camp Thursday at Anderson University but walked out the next day after the Colts refused to give him the bonus.
Chandler claims he worked out at the Colts complex for the 16 weeks required to receive the bonus. However, Colts officials said he had not participated to the degree necessary to satisfy his contract, which called for workouts two hours a day for five days each week.
Chandler’s suit also seeks $5,000 for each day the bonus is unpaid, and attorneys fees.
Chandler, who returned to his home in Seattle Friday, was starting quarterback for the Colts last season before being injured.
