Very OT: Jameis Winston

[Kitaman]

Instant Millionaire: Signed a four-year deal worth $25.35 million, which includes a $16.69 million signing bonus, a source told ESPN's Adam Schefter.

I'm just surprised at the amount of money rookies make in the NFL. Last night he was poor and today he has 16+ million dollars (before taxes) in his account. Oh its guaranteed as well.

He may be thought of as a up but damn he's a rich one.

Anyway was the offer presented weeks ago? Because this can't happen this fast unless this is an NFL #1 pick salary policy.

That can buy a ton of crab legs

I love math. I had to look it up, but apparently the NFL caps agents % at 3%. That means he get's 97% before taxes. If you figure a normal adult has a 40 year career and retires at 60, that means the one contract for $25.35 millions equals 40 years at $614,737/year. I could live on that.

Also take into account Florida has no personal income tax. He plays half his games in Florida so those paychecks are untaxed. The away game weekly paychecks are subject to the state income taxes in the state the games are played

Sam Bradford got 78 million on his rookie deal in 2010 before the rule was changed. Now I believe there is a cap and slotting. Winston is a relative bargain.

Who cares - this punk is a walking time bomb. He will do something stupid because he's just that - stupid and will be in jail.
The folks in the community who would lie and cheat justice for their college football didn't cut this spoiled brat a break - he feels he is entitled to abuse women and take whatever he wants.
I hope some linebacker takes his head off.

Eh, he gets them for free anyway. The contract changes nothing.

How about Carlos Stanton's $325,000,000 2015-2027 100% guaranteed contract?

Not a bad pull for 12 years of work haha
