Alright, so you wanna know about this Marvin Harrison Jr. fella and his money, huh? Folks keep jabberin’ about it, so I figured I’d try and make sense of it all for ya. Don’t expect no fancy talk, though. I’m just gonna tell it like it is, the way I see it.
Now, this boy, Marvin, plays football, real good, I hear. Folks say he’s gonna be a big star, makin’ big bucks. And that’s where all this “NIL” stuff comes in. See, back in my day, kids just played for the love of the game. Now they get paid! Can you believe that? Paid just for playin’ in college! Times sure have changed.
So, this NIL, it’s like, how much these companies gonna pay these youngsters to wear their shoes or drink their soda, you know? For Marvin, they say it was worth somethin’ like… hold on… one point four MILLION dollars when he was in college. That’s a whole lotta hay, let me tell ya. One point four million! That’s enough to buy a whole lotta cows!
- They say before he went pro, it was maybe around six hundred and seventy-three thousand dollars, somethin’ like that.
- And then the whole team, they were worth even more, like seven hundred and forty-five thousand dollars. Don’t ask me how they figure all that out, it’s all just numbers to me.
But now he’s in the big leagues, the NFL. He got drafted by the Arizona Cardinals, see? And they signed him to a real big contract, thirty-five point four MILLION dollars! That’s… well, that’s just more money than I can even imagine. Thirty-five point four MILLION dollars! Why, that’s enough to buy a whole town!
Now, he ain’t gettin’ it all at once, mind you. They gonna pay him over a few years. This year, they say he’ll get seven hundred and ninety-five thousand dollars just for showin’ up, plus a big ol’ chunk of money, twenty-two million, just for signin’ on the dotted line. Twenty-two million dollars just for signin’ a piece of paper! Land sakes, that’s more than most folks see in a lifetime.
So, this year his money, they call it a “cap hit,” will be around six million four hundred thirty-one thousand seven hundred and seventy-one dollars. And if somethin’ happens and he can’t play no more, they still gotta pay him thirty-five million three hundred seventy-four thousand dollars. That’s what they call “dead cap.” It means they gotta pay him even if he’s sittin’ on the bench, I guess.
Now, some folks say his daddy, Marvin Harrison Sr., he was a football player too, and he’s worth about twenty-six point eight million dollars. That’s a lot of money too, but it sounds like this young fella is gonna make even more than his daddy. Imagine that, makin’ more money than your own daddy! Times really have changed.
So, that’s the story, as best as I can tell it. Marvin Harrison Jr., he got a good NIL deal in college, worth a whole lotta money, and now he’s got an even bigger contract in the NFL. He’s gonna be rollin’ in the dough, that’s for sure. Good for him, I say. Work hard, play hard, get paid. That’s the American way, ain’t it? Just hope he don’t go spendin’ it all foolishly.
They say he was gonna be a top pick, maybe even top five, and get paid maybe nine million dollars a year for four years. That’s what they were sayin’ before he got drafted. Nine million a year! Makes your head spin, don’t it? Anyway, that’s all I know about it. Hope it makes sense to ya. If not, well, that’s just too bad. I did my best.
