Good for them.

Even if they never see the field, what is it, a minimum of a quarter mil a year now?

Spent wisely, with the miserly ways of a Hebrew, (that's a compliment) these guys can prosper and be pretty liquid for the next chapter in their lives.

Surprised but REALLY happy for both. Two of my favorite Sooners. Thanks for the info, Plaino.

Bell got a prorated 500k signing bonus (125 this year) and will make minimum salary of 435k.

Rip got a prorated 100k bonus (25k this year) and and 435k.


Nice payday for both and hope they save something. After management fees and taxes, they're probably looking at 50% take home.

Other news along these lines, Jordan Phillips made the Dolphins.

Daryl Williams made the Panthers.

Tyrus Thompson did not make the Vikings.
