socioeconomical?
last i heard, he makes some pretty good coin:
Rice receives a $15 million signing bonus on his new five-year deal, along with a non-guaranteed base salary of $2 million in 2012. (The base salary is essentially guaranteed, because the Ravens won’t be cutting him this year.)
Next year, a $7 million option bonus is due in March, with a $1 million base salary. The option bonus is guaranteed for injury; as a practical matter, the base salary is guaranteed, too, because the Ravens won’t cut him in 2013 if they pay the $7 million.
And if they don’t pay the $7 million, Rice will have made $17 million for one year.
In 2014, Rice is due to earn a base salary of $4 million. In 2015 and 2016, Rice is due to earn a base salary of $3 million each season.
The deal also includes a $5 million one-time incentive/escalator. If he reaches specific rushing/receiving targets in any of the first three years of the deal, and if the team finishes in the top 10 in total offense, Rice receives a $1 million incentive in he year he accomplishes the feat — and another $4 million is spread over the remaining years of the deal.
