Some mock drafts have him going to the Giants at 6 overall. 2020 has a loaded NFL QB draft class, but it's weak this year. Someone is gonna reach for him.Would you want your favourite team's GM to take a 5'9", 180lb QB with a first round pick?
He's a third round flyer.
Baseball. You can always make a run at the bigs and if you’re as good as advertised you get paid. If not, go back to football. A lot easier to do it that way than vice versa.
Brandon Weeden went back and played football at 27 or 28 years old and made quite a bit of money. Murray is by far a better talent in both sports than Weeden.
Then they're mental.Some mock drafts have him going to the Giants at 6 overall. 2020 has a loaded NFL QB draft class, but it's weak this year. Someone is gonna reach for him.
So he wouldn't get the 4.6 until he got the call up to the big club? I thought he got that no matter what??More guranteed money early on in football if he ends up as a top 10 pick. Plus he may have a 4.6 million signing bonus but not everyone makes it out of the minor league to receive those big contracts even some of the top draft picks.
$10m is nothing to MLB. It's a lot to the A's.mlb aint putting money toward a team signing a player. If oakland wants him they are gonna have to pay up. As far as football in todays game he will be able to play in the nfl because of how the rules have changed and qbs are untouchable
So he wouldn't get the 4.6 until he got the call up to the big club? I thought he got that no matter what??
He's talking about the follow on contracts.So he wouldn't get the 4.6 until he got the call up to the big club? I thought he got that no matter what??
.......and you just won the Heisman. You now have the option to enter the NFL draft or accept the MLB offer with the "A's" and a 4.6m signing bonus, what do you do?
REASONS YOU DO WHAT YOU DO.
He's talking about the follow on contracts.
He'll get the $4.9m the second he turns up to camp. He'll then get a minor league salary commensurable with the level of minor league baseball he's playing.
He won't see big league money, and that's not huge money, until he gets there.
It's why he wants to be put on the 40 man roster too - he wants to force the A's hand with regards to him being called up early and, therefore, starting his clock so he hits FA earlier.
Well technically, yes, but they'd be stupid to do that unless he's Bryce Harper (he isnt').Not true. He can sign a major league contract now.
You think a dude who hasn't picked up a bat for 3 years is going to come back and hit a 90mph fastball?You go to the nfl and get paid now. I think they said the last pick in the 1st round gets 8 mil guaranted. After a few years if you cant cut it in the nfl then go baseball.
The A's have never paid their stars. They won't start now.A’s are building a new stadium. They need stars. They’ll pay up.
Well technically, yes, but they'd be stupid to do that unless he's Bryce Harper (he isnt').
