A more realistic contract would be another \u201cprove it\u201d 1 year deal around the $2.5 million figure. And if he succeeds in 2025, then a much larger contract for the Oklahoma alum could well be on the way.<\/p>\n<p>Daniel Arwas Daniel Arwas is a sports writer who covers the NFL for Heavy.com.\u00a0Daniel began his career in sports writing in 2022 and has covered the NFL and college football for Gridiron Heroics\u00a0and\u00a0The Hammer.
