Way to go, kid!
NFL Media’s Ian Rapoport is reporting that the Giants have signed Barkley to his rookie deal. The details themselves are downright astonishing for a player at his position.
Barkley gets a fully guaranteed four-year, $31.2 million deal. It includes a $20.76 million signing bonus with $15 million paid out immediately and the remainder set to hit Barkley’s bank account in October.
The average annual salary of $7.8 million ranks Barkley fourth among running backs, behind Le’Veon Bell, Devonta Freeman and LeSean McCoy.
As Rapoport notes, the $15 million initial payout is among the highest we’ve seen for a rookie over the past several years.

Has there ever been a NFL rookie in the recent years more deserving?
One interesting part of the contract is that the Giants agreed IN WRITING to NEVER run an option play with the QB and SB meeting 7 yds deep, going 1 1,000.....2 1,000.....3 1,000 and then giving SB the ball.
They found a loophole, 1-Mississippi, 2-Mississippi.
So good things really can (and do) happen to good people?
NY now has Barkley and Judge. Two humble and supremely talented young men. I hope their example influences youngsters to be respectful and self deprecating. Lord knows, the sporting world is in dire need.

That sort of contract will draw new “friends” out the woodwork. Fortunately, Barkley is smart and has his head on straight.
I'm not sure what the hell you posted IllinoisLion, knowing your track record, I give you a thumbs upWouldn’t that be 1-Mississippi State, 2-Mississippi State.....?
Agent didn't do shit. That contract amount is a function of the CBA.
I agree. I believe the dollar amounts are fixed...but perhaps other details are not. For example, #1 pick Mayfield got $33m but only ~ $21m is guaranteed. Boss sat out until camp was over last year and got something in concessions (don’t know what). Perhaps SB got fully paid out but the number and years are fixed? IDK...I do know that the agents have some latitude and SB’s contract is pretty darn good. Plus, I am comfortable saying that Barkley’s agents are move focused on endorsement and entertainment contracts outside the lines. He can easily double his money with endorsements (or more).
That would be unusual. Either your source is a nimrod and/or doesn't know how to write, which is probably the case, or Mayfield has idiots for agents, which is possible, but far less likely.
And of those 4 (and presuming all stay healthy), who would you rather have? Kinda a no-brainer.
Good news is that the Eagles can get him 5 years from now.
Don't i wish.
