No signing bonus

What does it mean to Bush since Mario didnt get a signing bonus? Doesnt Bush want something like 54 million up front? Does the league draw the line on the #2 pick not getting more than the #1, or is that the owners decision?

Man, I posted that article from ESPN like a week ago about Marion not getting a bonus. I don't think it means much of anything to Reggie though, although I still think they will try to get a contract about the same size as Mario's.

I mean any type of signing bonus, surely hes hoping to get at least 20 mil for a bonus, to pay lawyers and such

Oh, there are still guarantees. Look:

The guaranteed money in the contract is initially $21.75 million, and then jumps to $26.5 million after the Texans exercise an option next spring.

And the signing bonus is zero.

That's right, folks, no signing bonus.

It's just not in the form of a signing bonus. I don't think Reggie would be upset with 20 mil guaranteed right out the chute. The whole article is here:
