Now that's a touch choice! Let's see, another year in school, rooming with some other dude, having to get on a bus and ride for 10 hours at a stretch...
OR...Sign a multi-year $40 million contract and never have to worry about doing real work ever again.
Let me think on that and get back to you!
Or Young could play another year at Texas, actually win the Heisman trophy, prove himself a true leader and lead his team another National Championship and sign for 60 million next year.
If life is all about money- Young should be smart enough to get as much as he can.
Quick- name the last quarterback to leave school early, be successful, and get $40 mil?? Ben Roethlisberger? Yep- Ben played for the league minimum his first year. His signing bonus did not kick in until a year later.
Eli Manning, had a great senior year in college- his signing bonus- $20 mil- about a 1/3 of that was paid up front.
Quarterbacks that graduate make more money today in the NFL than do quarterbacks who left school early.
