Well I've heard there is a limit to what they can do with rookie contracts so there's only so much he could ask for. I looked up Mims and he had a 15mil completely guaranteed contract and a signing bonus a little under 8 mil which was paid half at signing half in Dec. So I can see it as a big ask to get the signing bonus all at signing but if you are gonna pay it in Dec anyway why not pay it all at once and you still protect yourself from the back half of the guaranteed contract money.
