High School Gridiron Star Ponders Jump to Pros (The CFL...)

| | Comments (107) | TrackBacks (0)

Signing Day happens to be a very big day for college football and basketball. Wednesday, it was football's turn, and LSU, Alabama, Miami, USC and Ohio State all got banner classes.

One student-athlete missing from all the hype is one of the top runningbacks in the nation, Bryce Brown out of Wichita (KS) East High School.

Why? More after the jump...

Our friends at Pro Football Talk/College Football Talk (and specifically Mike Florio...what's up, dude?!?) brought this to our attention (originally, in the New York Times), but Brown's controversial manager/agent, Brian Butler, thinks if Brown can't jump to the NFL, due to the age restrictions and the Maurice Clarett lawsuit, bring him to the CFL. It may not sound so far-fetched, until you read this part:

"If they were talking about any amount of real money, I'd guarantee it," Butler said of Brown potentially playing in the C.F.L. He mentioned a C.F.L. team paying Brown $5 million a year for three years.

He added: "We're not playing around. I can promise you that. I'm not scared at all to do anything, and Bryce isn't either. Hey, he'll hurt your feelings. He's not worried about your feelings. He's worried about what's right and what's wrong."

Brown would be eligible to play in the C.F.L., because there's no minimum age limit. In the N.F.L., a player has to be three years removed from his high school graduation class. But Brown's price tag could be a hitch in Butler's plans: C.F.L. teams have $4.2 million salary cap ... per team.

So, what's right...have Brown go to Miami with his brother Arthur, and learn how to be a player under Randy Shannon. What's wrong...have Brown go to the CFL with the thought he will get $5 million per year, when, in reality, he'll only get about $50,000 (maybe).

I think it's high time Brown has a talk with his mathematically-challenged 'manager' and goes with his own mind.
