Terrific article as always. Can't wait to see him play in the preseason.

I did not know the $$ were this good for a late round pick!!
Rodgers recently signed a four-year, $2.3 million rookie contract that included a $71,000 signing bonus. So he likely has some time to see how he figures into the Falcons’ plans.

The $71,000 if guaranteed but...

Now, instead of each team having an allotment, each pick has a predetermined amount. In other words, a player and his agent know the exact dollar figures the moment he is drafted. They also know the length; every contract is for four years, with first-round picks subject to a team option for a fifth year, also at predetermined rates. As for salaries, the vast majority of drafted players have four years of non-guaranteed minimum salaries, accompanied by a signing bonus that’s not negotiated by the agent, but predetermined by the CBA (collective bargaining agreement).

Good read. Looking forward to seeing what Jake can do in the NFL.

It's a great start to life. I'm really excited for Jake and hope the best for him.

For real! I'm sitting here stressing about student loans and finding a place to live next year. That bonus will be a sweet down payment for a house and he will have his student loans paid by the first year, probably. What a good start!
