    Touchy. Did you wake up on the wrong side of the be this morning? It's probably another beautiful day in sunny SoCal.

    So he lost 100k of his signing bonus.....but how much difference is his actually salary as a 4th rounder vs a 32 rounder? I do not know i am asking but seems like he would more than make up for the 100k bonus with a bigger initial salary?

    I don't know. In football there is a salary slot for each order in the draft depending upon position. But in football there are no minor leagues so every player signs an NFL contract. It's likely that krob signed a minor league contract and won't be paid a lot in salary unless he gets to the show.

    How many people make $150,000 in their first year on the job?

    That's not his salary.. It's a one time bonus. If he signed a minor league contract his monthly salary will be considerably less than $150,000 A year unless he gets called up to his big league team.

    Peanuts. And most of those guys will never make the majors. Some will play in the minors until they are almost 30 before giving it up to pursue whatever their life's work will be.

    Unless you get first round bonus money like Aaron Nola and Alex Bregman the bonus is will get you a new car and pay off your bills and you won't have much left. Not every player has rich parents like Kramer Mulkey-Robertson.
