Or he could have made roughly 10-15 million more in guarantees and still have been hitting co-eds left and right.
Alex Smith, taken #1 overall: 6 years, 51 million, $24 million guaranteed
Since Leinart was taken 10, his contrace will be comparable to Big Ben's from 2 years ago (big ben was taken at 11)
Ben roethlisberger: 6 years, 14 million, $8 million guaranteed
I'd say thats a bit of a difference in contract size for being too much of a pansy to go pro.
