Even though Saquon Barkley has yet to sign a contract with the Giants
Patrick DiMarco Jersey , the No. 2 overall pick in the 2018 NFL Draft is set to make somewhere around $31-32 million over the life of his rookie deal in
New York.
But if Barkley can stick to his plan, he doesn’t intend to spend any of that money once he signs his deal.
According to Jordan Raanan of ESPN.com, Barkley said he plans to invest his football-related revenue and use his endorsement money as his functional
financial support.
“That’s the goal,” Barkley said. “Not to touch it.”
Barkley already has the best-selling jersey in the NFL and has endorsement deals already set up with Nike, Pepsi and Panini America. He’s managed to buy a
house for his parents despite still waiting on the signing bonus from his rookie
contract.
Barkley plans to follow the script of Oakland Raiders running back Marshawn Lynch
Kurt Warner Jersey , who has reportedly been similarly frugal with his money earned during his career.
“Once I realized when I declared for the NFL draft and kind of realized where I was going to be drafted, that was something I was like, ‘You know what? Kind
of want to follow the Marshawn Lynch method. I don’t want to touch that. I want
to invest it, put it in the right peoples’ hands and learn as I continue to make
investments. And just live off the endorsement deals,'” Barkley said
The Dallas Cowboys added another receiver in free agency Friday when Allen Hurns
agreed to a two-year deal.
Hurns’ deal with the Cowboys came three days after he was released by the Jacksonville Jaguars.
Cowboys receiver Cole Beasley welcomed Hurns to the team in a Twitter message
Stephen Curry Jersey , ending that with ”lets go to work!” Hurns responded, ”Let’s get it bro” on his account.
Hurns initially signed with the Jaguars as an undrafted rookie out of Miami in 2014. He got a $40 million, four-year contract extension after the 2015
season, when he had 64 catches for 1,031 yards and 10 touchdowns in 15 games.
But he has since been hampered by injuries.
Hurns missed 11 games because of injuries during the past two seasons with the Jaguars
Cedric Ogbuehi Jersey , who last week brought back receiver Marqise Lee and added Donte Moncrief in free agency.
In his four seasons with the Jaguars, Hurns had 189 receptions for 2,669 yards and 21 TDs. He caught just 74 passes for 961 yards and five scores the
past two years while dealing with a sports hernia in 2016 and a high ankle
sprain in 2017.
On Thursday, Dallas signed free agent wide receiver Deonte Thompson, who played 53 games the past six seasons for Baltimore
Ryan Griffin Jersey , Buffalo and Chicago.
