re: What a joke NIL has turned into when the presumptive NFL MVP favorite makes far less Arch.

Not to defend JR but he wasn’t the only 1-1 that busted, the contracts for the top picks were getting out of control it was Sam Bradford’s deal that really lead to the new structure

rookies could renegotiate after their year.

Is there an example of a late round pick doing this? getting a new deal after their rookie year? Antonio Brown and Brady got new deals after year 2, though neither played much as rookies.

Would he? The old deals were 3 years vs 4, so he’d still be under contract and did have UCL surgery, he avoided the Tommy John surgery, but there were questions if he’d be available to start the season. Seems like it would have been prudent for SF to wait and see
