The bonus was transferred directly to the Madden 23 coins, which included Bitcoin, Ethereum and Solana."
There's not a thing called"signing bonuses" or "signing bonus" when it comes to an endorsement deal. It's simply an endorsement contract. Once you sign the agreement and get paid or, in the case of Lawrence you receive crypto. While the use of this term in sports is not a huge deal, it's here where things started to get a little confusing. Following the Blockfolio press announcement, USA Today aggregated the information and this is where that the confusion started.
The story that was published by Madden NFL 23 added the word "signing bonus" which was given on the Blockfolio press release. Then, it mixed it up with Lawrence's actual Madden NFL 23 signing bonus with the Jaguars which reported the amount as $24.1M as well as using Spotrac as an source."The most likely number. 1 overall pick during the 2021 Madden NFL 23 draft, likely to be drafted by his home team, the Jacksonville Jaguars, has partnered with a leading cryptocurrency investment app known as Blockfolio and will place his bonus in an account in the firm."
"According to Spotrac this year's signing bonus Lawrence this season's no. 1 selection is $22.630.055." We now have an endorsement agreement with Blockfolio, presumably fairly small relative to the rest of the world and was paid in crypto . And recently, it's been tied to Lawrence's enormous Madden NFL 23 signing bonus from the league. The league has also misreported the fact that the money was deposited into cryptocurrency. If it was an honest error, or a plot to turn a story seem more sexually attractive, we're in the same place: an endorsement agreement with a crypto-related company was paid with crypto and nothing more.
Then, on Tuesday, an editor from the Sun Sentinel took information published by Coinjournal and put out an unintentional tweet mocking the Jaguars QB. Of course, we know it's not true -There's no evidence that Lawrence invested his $24 million in crypto. The fact is that this information was reported in many stories that claimed Lawrence had misplaced his bag however this was not the situation.
This is great news. Everyone should not be rooting for someone losing money, not even as a source of schadenfreude. Trevor Lawrence is a really good guy, and it is a bit disappointing to think that he cheated one of the biggest payouts of his professional football career- but instead he probably only lost a chunk out of the original endorsement deal. This is a bummer, but far from devastating.
A Madden NFL 23 player finds himself caught up in one of the biggest scandals the league has ever faced, and the silence from major figures has never more noticeable. New accusations against Deshaun Watson are being made public and a lawsuit for the player has now become a part of the Houston Texans, but you'd never have any idea what was going on if you only paid focus on Madden NFL 23 directly or the Cleveland Browns.
On May 24. Commissioner Roger Goodell said the league's investigation into Watson was drawing to a close. Just last week it was announced that the league had completed its investigation. There's no end in sight, despite the fact that the Madden NFL 23 has reportedly been investigating Watson for 15 months.
The Madden NFL 23 has held the line that it wouldn't make any comments on the ongoing investigation. It's a fair thing to do for something that would last just a few months, however this has been going on for more than a year. What's the amount of time needed? Surely the Madden NFL 23 will have acquired enough information to issue an update on its process or announce preliminary findingsregardless of if additional allegations emerge. As it stands the avoidance feels like an attempt by the league to shield Watson and other players involved from scrutiny, rather than uncover the truth, which is the whole point of an investigation in the beginning.It is expected that the madden coins for sale International Series will also expand to Germany in the coming months and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and Seattle Seahawks due to clash on the field in Munich at the end of November.
