Keep in mind that the Rookie contracts are 4 years deals (with options for 5th year).

So divide that total by 4 years, and then, they will have things to pay such as taxes, agent fees, entertainment taxes (per game, different by state), kicking out money to hangers-on, fines, rookie hazing, etc.

Thats alot to go through for all the wear and tear on their bodies for 4 years.
