Good to see after his injury. Hopefully he can bounce back and get a big contract after this prove it year.

the word resign as used in this thread topic always makes me think a player either quit or got canned. my suggestion would be to use re-sign instead. of course it could be just me

Good for him. He should be and could be set for life right now. If he gets a bigger contract and has a few good more years then that is a successful career and puts him in a place to help others.

Ike is a great human being. Really deserving. Coming back from that injury was grueling and most guys don't make it back. Really happy for him!

$4.4 gross for a lifetime? Probably not. Especially w/ the NY taxes.

He can help win a super bowl!!

you are on to something here. a run of the mill unrated recruit usually ends up a more valuable product coming out of iowa than...
gotta point this out to every highly rated homegrown iowa ol recruit
and if you are highly rated coming in like wirfs was....sky is the limit

Well he has to have netted at least $3 million so far after taxes. that is a lot of dough. You can buy a bunch of duplexes etc and have the renters pay for them for you and make another couple million over the years that way.

I would say compared to someone working 35 years to make $1.5 million GROSS Ike is in a good spot.

How do you come to $3M net? Marginal tax rate is going to be pushing 40%. Not to mention fees not associated w/ "regular" income he needs to pay - agent fees (though typically deductible), recovery expenses (also typically a deduction), taxes on non-cash compensation, financial adviser (the Jock Tax looks like a nightmare), etc.

Also, $1.5M gross for 35 years? You cant compare wages of the 70s to the market in 2020-2080

The 2021 tackle situtation is a little like when Ike and Boone Meyers started there at Redshirt Freshman. Hopefully we'll see the same growth in this new crop of Richmond, Colby and DeJong.
