Seahawks Sign 2019 First-Round Pick L.J. Collier

The Seahawks inked their first pick in the 2019 NFL Draft to a contract on Tuesday, signing defensive end L.J. Collier to his rookie deal as the club held its second set of Organized Team Activities at team headquarters.

The 6-foot-3, 291-pound Collier, who the Seahawks chose with the 29th pick in the first round out of TCU, figures to aid Seattle’s pass rush this upcoming season after last year’s top edge rusher Frank Clark was traded to the Kansas City Chiefs. Collier earned All-Big 12 honors as a senior when he recorded six sacks, 42 tackles (11.5 for loss), and four pass breakups, and Seahawks head coach Pete Carroll has said he sees similarities to former Seattle defensive end Michael Bennett in Collier’s play.

125k a year doesn't go very far in seattle when you start talking housing in the redmond area

Don't like the photo of Collins. Looks like a mug shot.

Let's say he nets $4.6MM after taxes, spends $400k a year and gets a 5% market return. All extremely conservative.

He would theoretically be able to go 16 years spending that, this is assuming he has 0 other income coming in, no new contract after this one, and only a 5% return.

If our mans gets 100k/yr in endorsement money (another conservative measure) and see's a yearly return of 7% our man can spend 400k/yr for ~50 years before needing to go to the bank. And this is assuming he does not get another contract in the NFL after his rookie deal. Again, conservative

AKA, he has no excuse to ever need money again!

I'm talking net, not gross. Rent a decent apartment and I'm sure he'll be fine.

i agree with that. just simply noting 125k in redmond doesn't buy as much as 125k in ft worth and goodness knows munday

he should be fine either way and even better if he can get to the second contract

Exactly! Live very modestly until that second deal, then buy yourself a 911 Turbo S!
