well he can still coming out on top with this money wise though I don't think he was signed yet. Fowler had not signed his rookie contact when the injury occurred. He was expected to sign a fully guaranteed four-year, $23,490,242 contract,including a $15,343,812 signing bonus, before getting hurt. The injury shouldn't materially change his deal.He has signed a standard rookie participation agreement From the CBA "Club agrees that in the event Player sustains a disabling NFL football-related injury during any of the Club's 2015 Programs while working out or practicing at Club's Facility under the direction of a Club official (an "Injury") prior to signing an NFL Player Contract with Club, and provided that Player promptly reports such Injury to Club Physician or Head Athletic Trainer and undergoes reasonable rehabilitation under Club's supervision, then Club agrees that it will continue to negotiate in good faith with Player and his agent(s) for an NFL Player Contract as if Player had not sustained any such Injury.
"The terms and conditions of such Player Contract shall take into account all relevant information, and
apply the same factors and terms consistent with picks in the general area of the Player's actual slot of the 2015 NFL Draft; provided, however, that nothing in this Agreement shall obligate Club to agree to any particular terms or conditions of employment in any NFL Player Contract between Player and Club."

That's all well and good but I can't see how the injury would not have some affect on negotions. For example, if there is an offer on the table I see no way Fowler can counter with a higher amount that the team would accept or even consider. |

They have been slotted since the last CBA Yeah, but there is always some agents who think they can get more than what's slotted especially for top 10 overall picks even if they have no chance in hell of getting any more than what is slotted. |

It's more about offset clauses and other rigmarole surrounding the guaranteed $ these days. That's all the agents have left to negotiate. |

Yes they front a lot of money to their clients so they can buy new wardrobes go to these combine training facilities (they ain't cheap) negotiate shoe & trading card contracts. Things that us mere mortals only wish we had |
