20 yrs old - $20M contract....what a great start for Sammy!

Now, he can Totally focus on his craft and with CJ as his mentor, I believe he will be amazing us all with his production in the NFL.

Anybody with just a half of a brain could be set for life with 32.7 million for 4 years at 20 years old. I think that Sammy exceeded his life dream in a short time. But the big question is, how much does his agent get of the 32.7 mil?

that profession is cutthroat (25% of agents represent 75% of players) and fee-cutting is the norm (sometimes under 1%). Hopefully, he is paying his agent no more than 1.5%. Also, with the NFL rookie salary caps in place over the last three years, there is a lot less an agent can do for a first rounder...

I was just going by this, (According to spotrac.com, Clemson's Sammy Watkins' #4th overall slot in the 2014 NFL draft will get him a projected total contract of $19,935,603 with a signing bonus of $12,818,620.) and I don't have a clue if the figures are correct.

Actually, under the rookie salary caps the signing bonus is

Included in the total $20M. The key distinction is that most if not all of the signing bonus can be guaranteed.
