Much bigger buck when she signs an overseas contract with UMMC Ekaterinburg or in China. Then she will be able to pick up the check for the whole team.

True - although in Stewie's particular case, given her burgeoning notoriety, I'd bet her Nike contract is a pretty decent chunk of change.

I'm betting the first year of the Nike contract beats her WNBA rookie salary by several fold.

Mo and Morgan need contracts too.

Nike's deal are typical of the whole endorsement industry. Infinite variety with infinite array of values. Just like Titleist in golf. Some are wearing the logo for balls and some are wearing it to fuel their private jet.

Well, they missed the boat by not signing Moriah. She's going to be very popular - she's adorable, and she's in her home state.

Yeah - but she is a much better negotiator and is holding out for the big money!

How much can I bet on Moriah signing with Adidas?

Or even Under Armour ... just read why Steph Curry and Tom Brady went that route

Without knowing the numbers, it's a good bet that her Nike contract far exceeds her WNBA contract. I guess this means that we can expect a new line of 'Stewie" shoes and apparel?!? I wonder if she got a signing bonus?

Is the account rep named C. Doty?
