Very nice! Good job Rashod!!!

Ravens must really like what they see in him. I'll take this as a good indication of things to come.

I wish I had 6.5 million and the opportunity to nearlt double it within four years. Good for him!

You haven't burned your eligibility?

Awesome. As a first round pick they were going to invest a lot in his success anyway but great to see them make a big financial investment in him.

Must have a very good agent...

Anyone recall how this compares to Antoine's rookie contract?

I could probably kick extra points as well as the gophers special teams have been. Maybe that's my route into the league!

How much room is there to negotiate in draft contracts?

Last I heard ... a LONG time ago, they were largely within a set range?

 

[Full Speed Ahead]

The Saint did pretty well in the signing category too, nice to see both Gophers signed to big contracts:

yeah, I thought they were fairly well slotted at this point. How it's paid out, etc I think is negotiated but I thought the total dollars was pretty well defined??

I imagine he'll start getting all the fundraising letters and e-mails like I get from my graduate level alma mater.

I thought so too. The article makes it sound like the record/noteworthy aspect is that the deal is fully guaranteed for the 27th pick.

I wonder if this will spur future Gopher NFL prospects to look at Bateman's agent to represent them as well.

Yup, the fact is fully guaranteed is whats unique i think
