Burrow Contract - kdgjr - 04-22-2020
https://www.foxbusiness.com/sports/lsu-joe-burrow-nfl-draft-contract-pay
Can anyone explain to me how the signing bonus thing works?
I mean, if we were to just give him a max contract and signing bonus, what would it be?
I just want to pay the man, have him sign, and move on to the next step.
No drama.

His pay, signing bonus is already set by what position he gets drafted. There is no more holding out. The only things they agree to now are things like not surfing (Marriota) or riding motorcycles, etc.

Or spitting on officers, fighting in nightclubs, punching women in the face, etc.

I think the amount of guaranteed money is still negotiable.

I think that, too, but I can't find the parameters. What is a "max contract" with all of the stuff you can throw in like incentives and guaranteed money?

This really is the only thing that could hold a contract up now:
While the CBA sets out the bonus amount, it does not address payment terms on that bonus; that requires negotiation. And, as you would expect, agents want payout as early as possible and teams want as much deferral as they can negotiate

That’s the bad part. We get the #1 pick. But also get to have our front office negotiate his contract during covid 45.

COVID 45? I prefer Colt 45.
