In roughly three weeks, Sumlin & Kingsbury will be unemployed joining Johnny Football, merely 5 years post-Heisman. I can't help but picture those three sitting on a beach somewhere laughing their asses off as they compare bank accounts. Based on quick research this is an estimate of what each made post-Heisman.
Sumlin - Signed a 6 year $30m contract that was fully guaranteed... #YESSIR
Kingsbury - Around $21m when you consider all salary and buyout... fortune favors the BOLD
JFF - Signed a deal with $6.7m guaranteed... pass the bong
So the Browns, Aggies, and Red Raiders have forked over ~$60m combined in the 5 years since the Heisman. I am sure there is other income sprinkled in there... joke appears to have been on us.
Disclaimer: I supported the KK hire and still think it was worth the risk (sans the crazy contract extension), just having a bit of fun given the circumstances
