Message: [QUOTE="Orangutan, post: 3019448, member: 4946"] There's no comparison between the NFL and WNBA. The pay is WILDLY different. The #10 pick in the NFL draft, Josh Rosen, got $17.5 million over 4 years [B]guaranteed. [/B]Of course, they should do whatever is necessary to ensure that they are healthy on draft day. A'ja Wilson got $52k last year. Yes, you can make six figures overseas. Look how much fun that is: [MEDIA=twitter]1080910526576758784[/MEDIA] I would be very interested to know what the pay for a rookie playing overseas is. For example, how much Kelsey Plum made in Turkey last year. I think the teams that pay really big tend to want a proven commodity. You're not getting the really big money overseas as a rookie. It cuts both ways. You could injure an ankle now and think "I should go pro and get paid while I can" or you can think "As a pro athlete, you're always one major injury from retirement. I need to make sure I have my degree to fall back on." [/QUOTE]
