95huskers Posted June 6, 2014 Share Posted June 6, 2014 The fact that he resides in Florida for the tax break has to lead the Brewers to believe he will sign. He wouldnt make that commitment to move there without intending to sign Quote Link to comment

strigori Posted June 6, 2014 Share Posted June 6, 2014 Something to keep in mind, even if baseball is his #1, playing for Erstad for awhile could very well push him into the top of the 1st round, and several times the money. Take $1.1m now? Or maybe 5+ in 3 years. The kid has options, that's for sure. 1 Quote Link to comment
Hooked on Huskers Posted June 6, 2014 Share Posted June 6, 2014 $1.1 million signing bonus in 50th pick? Geez, I thought less than $500K, max. Oh well ........ keep in mind minus agent cut, IRS hounds and state collector. Yesterday, "goodbye Monte" because the guru's said 1st round 16-18 pick. Now 50-50 chance to sign. Quote Link to comment
TonyStalloni Posted June 6, 2014 Share Posted June 6, 2014 This has to be disappointing for MH and surely not what he was expecting 24 hours ago. If indeed he makes it to Lincoln I hope he pours himself into football and baseball. At least 3 years under Erstad can't be a bad thing and it may open some eyes in the NFL about his ability as a WR. The future is bright for him even if payday may have been moved a few years. Quote Link to comment

SouthLincoln Husker Posted June 6, 2014 Share Posted June 6, 2014 Could be but he wouldn't be giving up baseball, just the paycheck A very large paycheck. Sm., compared to were he will be in 3 years. Quote Link to comment
Husker_luver Posted June 6, 2014 Share Posted June 6, 2014 Could be but he wouldn't be giving up baseball, just the paycheckA very large paycheck. Sm., compared to were he will be in 3 years. Nothing is a given. I'd take the money if I were him. But I'm hoping he doesn't. Quote Link to comment
HUSKER FREAK Posted June 6, 2014 Share Posted June 6, 2014 I would really really have a hard time turning down $1 million plus change, but on the other hand I don't even come close to the amount of talent and potential that he has so I really couldn't even know what it would be like to be in his position.

SouthLincoln Husker Posted June 6, 2014 Share Posted June 6, 2014 Minor league players only make $30K a year. He plays in the minor for 3 years and makes a little over a million or he goes to NE and gets a degree, Then he gets drafted higher and gets a signing bonus of 2 to 5 million. Nothing is guaranteed, but he could get an insurance policy to cover injury. 1 Quote Link to comment

Take $1.1m now? Or maybe 5+ in 3 years. The kid has options, that's for sure.Or he goes in the top 10 in the nfl draft where he would get triple the money of a good mlb contract in 3 years. Let's not forget about that option. Also, how much of a strain would it be for Monte to also play basketball for us. I think we are looking to replace Paul Meyers too, he could take care of that too! 1 Quote Link to comment
