Marvin Harrison Jr. NIL Deal - 25 million

[Walsh5]

Wow! Would be curious to know how we stack up with the blue bloods. Money ain’t everything — Texas has more money than anybody and has sucked for awhile except for this year — but it sure helps.

Great WR, but no wr is worth that. Good for him. Bad for OSU. Win for America.

 

[simplycanes]

I guess they aren't feeling great about recruiting....

 

[Canesallday09]

$25 million for a WR!? That’s crazy. He’s gonna be making more than Steffon Diggs, DK metclaf, Deebo, Keenan Allen. Sheesh.

I hope this isnt where NIL is gonna go. That’s too crazy.

Most of that contract is paid in the form of an upfront signing bonus. I think they'll try to match his actual salary as a first rounder, which would be around $2m-$3m, idk exactly. Zero shot they will pay the equivalent of his signing bonus.

 

[mcnaire2004]

Yeah, that's ridiculous. Good for him I guess.

 

[TOcane]

If you believe this I don't know what to say. This is like a last ditch effort to keep Smith or something and if it is real that's even worse.

 

[grover]

A couple things.

First, I'm pretty sure NFL deals are 5 year, with the team having the option to exercise the 5th year or terminate the contract after 4. So it would be 25/5, or 5M for a 1-year NIL deal to match that.

Second, 5M is still frickin insane. Hope the Buckeye choke on that fat payout assuming it's true, which I highly highly doubt.

I don't believe for one second that any program is paying this to the offspring of a long-tenured NFL player.

This beggars belief.

You can bet that leak is an attempt by a competing WR’s agent to juice the NIL’s numbers for his kid. Harrison’s people wouldn’t leak that story to SI; bad for his NFL business. But rival players would.

Not a chance, lol.

Right on.

First, that’s laughable. Second, Harrison, like C Williams, has deals with legitimate advertisers. That’s not the same as boosters funneling a million through a collective to pay a player for a few signed jerseys. OSU ain’t paying him millions, now or ever.

CJ Stroud is making $6.7M this year.

That’s a smart thing to do for him. Get himself a Lloyds of London policy and have the NIL collective pay him the ~$7M he’d make in the NFL.

 

[JHallCanes]

Yeah ******* right

 

[Meast21]

My guess is $2-2.5M to come back next year, which is what Rhule said top QBs are getting in the portal ($1-2M). Article is straight up stupid to suggest $25M or anything remotely close to that.

And those same advertisers are not going away. Endorsement deals will likely continue with them into the NFL and may even grow.

Trenton’s dad is a tenant of mine. Either his son hates him or he isn’t making nearly as much as stated in this article. I’m not a slumlord but the house isn’t exactly a dream home.

 

[SaiyaMan305]

He's not coming back guys lol, he's just earning his brownie points with the fanbase just like Stroud did last year... **** stroud basically said the same **** thing about wanting to come back since he didn't get a chance to beat Michigan.

 

[BS85]

This is clearly complete bull****. If they had 25 mil for the ENTIRE CLASS they wouldnt lose a single player. Come on now.

 

[SayWhat]

It's easy to say whatever when he's already out the door and gone.
