No, it's not

Again, just admit you were ignorant to what the signing bonus slots were/are. You're now crawfishing hoping your initial argument still holds up. Had Beckwith fallen to the 3rd day of the draft or had he been a lock for a top 20 pick, then yes we could have this talk.


WTF are you talking about ?

$750k is $200k more than his entire paycheck in 2018 and more than he's slated to make in 2019.

I can't believe I'm having to argue that $750k is a lot of money.

because it isn't

Here's the thing, this debate is talking about risk/reward right? Was it worth the risk to come back if we're talking about a difference of $750k (in Beckwith's case). $750k, comparatively speaking is nothing compared to what his signing bonus would have been had he played his way into a top 20 pick, where his guaranteed money would have been in the realm of $8.5MM.

So putting it in that context, you know the context of this thread, no $750k is not very much money. But why don't you tell me about all the other nonsense about injuries affecting being able to sign long-term contracts. I'm sure Tyrann Mathieu would like a word given he signed the largest safety contract in league history AFTER tearing his ACL.
