Just for reference, Golden Tate of Notre Dame signed with the Seahawks for four years worth just north of $3.5M with not all of it being guaranteed. He was a 2nd rounder, and very comparable to Shark. Add in the fact that Clausen gets just $2M in guaranteed money, and you see why Shark is playing baseball. That said, despite having to pay out his NFL career, Hendry did so based on 1st Round NFL money, which Shark was banking on.
I hate my pretentious sounding username too.
