Have fun with the last 5-7 years of that contract

Till he's 39 

so that's an easy 140 million lit on fire.

He is the best player in baseball...  Definitely deserves more than what Harper, Machado and Stanton got...

Crazy. Also, didn't know that Brad ausmus was the new manager.

I have no idea what Kyler Murray is thinking by playing football.

He's thinking that baseball is too hard and will take the easy money.

It’s a no brainer, choose baseball. Guaranteed contract alone makes it way more worth it.

what if he doesn't get out of the minors?

Murray was drafted #9 overall by the A' s and got a $4.6M guaranteed contract.  There were rumors of the A's upping the ante, but I don't believe they ever made a formal offer.  I'm not even sure they would have been allowed to. 

If he goes #1 in the NFL, he'll probably be guaranteed $25-$30M.  

Winning the Heisman and being officially measured as over 5'10' have made a huge difference.

Exactly, he'll only have his signing bonus.

 Yup and as douche said right above.  being a top 3 pick in the NFL is what 20 to 30 million guaranteed. He could be drafted in the NFL, suck balls and in 2 years go back to baseball a rich man

As proof...

Winston will have made over $46M in 5 years after this season and he stinks.  If Murray stinks as bad as Winston, he'll make even more money.  If he's comparatively that bad in baseball, he'll never make it past AAA.

That's the kicker.  No guarantee he'd make it to the show.  65% of MLB's first round draft picks go on to play in the majors.
