Report: Harrison Jr., Henderson Offered NIL Deals Rivaling 1st-Round NFL Draft Money

Harrison is widely regarded as one of the best players in the 2024 NFL draft class and basically a lock for the top five. In terms of improving his draft stock, there’s almost nothing he can gain by returning to Columbus, and it would presumably require a massive check to make it worth his while otherwise.

Under the terms of the NFL’s rookie wage scale, here are the signing bonuses for each of the first five picks in the 2024 draft, per Spotrac:

$24,849,725
$23,618,753
$22,835,422
$21,940,160
$20,373,464
