Cam Newton says the real wealth in the NFL wasn't his $18 million signing bonus; it was seeing huge paychecks hit his account every single week, even if he had a bad game.
"My rookie contract was $22 million guaranteed. At 20 years old, sitting on 22 mill, that was the most money I had ever seen."
"People see a $6 million signing bonus, but after taxes that’s $3.2 million on a hard check."
"Then I signed a $103 million contract with an $18 million bonus. But it wasn't the signing bonus that gave me that rush."
"It was logging into that account and seeing that green number hit: $732,000 every single week."
"Four touchdowns, or a fumble and three interceptions, same check."
"I tell young guys, stop trying to falsify an image you see online."
"Commit to your craft. Once you commit to something and become elite at it, the compensation will come."
