30 million dollars is the average total contract of an average top 5 pick. The average for a pick in the late first round is about 10 million dollars. For my non math wizards out there, that’s a 20 million dollar difference

20 MILLION Dollars, which is around 10 times more than the average American earns in a LIFETIME

Every single one of you that have called JaMarr Chase a variety of things for not playing this season are ridiculous. There is no reason in the world for him to take the risk of losing 20 million dollars on a season like this.

The whole world went into panic, no spring practice so greater risk of injury, there would be no fans, and before the season started many thought it would be cancelled, and did I mention he stood to lose 20 Million dollars? He had his family and loved ones to think about, and he made the decision he needed to make.

Downvote me to hell, I don’t care. I’ve been part of plenty of teams. Part of being a team is being happy for your brothers if they get opportunities. Chase made the only financially secure decision for his future

You’re right, but the Gumps on their scooters and their dickriders won’t like this.

My bad, I thought that is what the guy stole from the Children's Charities to pay the Lsu players.

This is pretty embarrassing. It would only make sense if Chase was guaranteed as a Top 5 pick. I've seen him mocked outside of the Top 5.

Fwiw I'd take the money.

But I also wouldn't make this thread.

17 of 32 players projected to go in the first round opted out

A1abana players didn't opt out because:
1. They have been disappointments the last few years
2. They weren't going through any of the testing that other players around the country went through.

True story.

A1abana took temperatures with a thermometer that only shows 97.9 to 98.9 - that is directly from 2 people I know on the A1abana medical staff.

Basic top exceptonal athlete loss of value insurance enabled through the ncaa for top picks is up to 10 mill for injury and up to another 5 mil for LoV. Then, there are additional private insurance policies.

These kids are covered. Its generational wealth either way. It comes down to wanting to play or not

And Devonta Smith has probably surpassed him by coming back for his senior and NOT quitting on his teammates.

You could’ve just said that you’re gonna be big mad when DeVonta goes in the top 5 and Chase gets picked up at #17.

$20 million is a lot of money. Of course if you spend $20 million in 4-5 years, are then broke, and have no job skills at all.... you going to be a broke motherfricker.

Stay and get your degree. There is a reason there are thousands and thousands of pro athletes in all sports that made millions and millions of dollars are never seen or heard from again once they are done playing.

But...is he also going to "opt out" his last year of that initial contract to save himself for that bigger veteran contact...sorry, shouldn't have called it "opt out" but "business decision" instead. If im a GM/Owner...i would wonder if im going to get only 3 yrs of production on that 4 yr contract
