signing bonus discrepancy
The scout.com reported bonus of $40,000 has to be incorrect based on his draft position. Actually, even the Big C bonus (take difference of total contract and subtotal of min base salaries and it gives $55,000) seems a little low. Based on his draft slot and a 3% increase over last year, I’d expect him to get about $60,000 (last year’s #207 pick Prescott Burgess – Ravens received $57,000). On a related note, Chauncey Washington (picked 6 spots later) received a reported bonus of “roughly” $60,000.
