re: Bama's newest recruiting poster...

Disclaimer not trolling: I always thought the poster of the checks was very interesting. It is what they signed for and in the NFL it is not guaranteed money. And with the exception of a handful since 2010 the players mentioned on those checks haven't maxed out the money on those checks, because again it is not guaranteed money and they have not reached the built in incentives and were marginal to bust players in the league (see exhibit A T. Richardson).
