Drake Maye makes about $8.5 million a year, plus an $18.5 million signing bonus. In total, his rookie contract is worth $37.6 million over four years. That’s roughly $1.5 million for every touchdown he throws—assuming he throws 25 TDs a season. If he throws interceptions? Well, his bank account doesn’t care. It’s already guaranteed.
So, the next time you’re fighting with your budget about buying oat milk, just remember: Drake Maye could buy the entire oat farm. And he probably will. And you know what? Good for him. He’s got the arm, the smile, and the bank balance of a small country. Let’s just hope he doesn’t spend it all on one really expensive jet ski. Or maybe he should. Honestly, I’m rooting for the jet ski.
