Luther Burden is officially rich

[jcgmoi]

He signed his rookie contract with the Bears.

It's a four-year deal worth $10.965 million and fully guaranteed, "the first time in NFL history that the 39th overall pick has secured a fully-guaranteed deal".

For some reason second-rounders this year have been looking for and getting the same salary guarantees as first-rounders.

It appears the financial demise of Burden, that many couldn't wait to claim, has been greatly exaggerated.

Luther's been unofficially rich for a few years now...

Good on Luther. The yong man deserves all he can get. Loved his devotion to Mizzou.

"Burden hasn't been on the practice field since rookie minicamp as he missed OTAs and minicamp with a soft tissue injury."

anyone know what the injury was? was it left over from Missouri's season? or something new?
