That spotrac site is amazing if anyone is ever interested in payouts for sports teams. Usually list fines too.

[Dual-Threat Rigby 8,852]

21M? Sheez

[AUFlyer99 647]

At 1.6M, Prosch is a bargain.

I'd say the Robinson family's financial struggles are over. I hope they all get good advice and spend it wisely.

Divided by how many years?

[gravejd 3,282]

So awesome to see Prosch get drafted! Love seeing the guy who does all the dirty work get rewarded!

[Gibson SG 88]

Divided by how many years?

I believe all rookie contracts are 5 years. I could be wrong, but I think that is the standard length.

[Tiger 8,841]

Are signing bonuses included in these totals?

I think signing bonuses are in this. GR is around $14M I think. As said earlier contract is usually 5 yr with the 5th year as an option for the team. If you noticed Cam's 5th yr was picked up by the Panthers already while NO did not pick up Mark Ingram's.

[AURex 2,129]

How does the site come up with the "projections" of contracts? Do they average the contracts of previous players signed in that order, or do they figure it based on some other factors.

And yes, the total contract amount includes the signing bonus. Says that right there on the page.

Thanks. I didnt click the link after seeing the AU guys' numbers listed in the OP. In regards to the amounts shown, in the NFL draft there is a fixed amount for each player based on where they are drafted.

so Prosch will only earn about 300k/year? How can you live on that?

As best as I remember a couple of years ago the NFL set up the rookie salary cap that pretty much as I recall slots the amounts of recently drafted players.

He's already bought a $123,000 watch...

[AUGoo 2,671]

Off to a great start with that good decision thing I see.

Contracts are for 4 years with the 1st rounders having 5th year options that can be picked-up by their teams.

The big difference is the signing bonuses the 1st rounders get...GRob got paid big time.

You can easily live on 300,000 a year?

Don't get a wife or kid.

I thought the sarcasm was pretty obvious

Don't get a wife or kid.

It's having 3 or 4 baby mamas that'll sap that kind of income pretty quick.

He's about to make $21M over the next 5 years. In terms of percentage of income, it would be like you knowing you were going to make $80,000 a year for the next 5 years and deciding to buy a $2300 home theater system...TV, speakers, the works. Except that after spending that $2300 you've only got about $397,700 to live on over the next 5 yrs while he'll still have over $20 million.
