Take the money, and then if your arm craps out you can use that money to pay for your own Vanderbilt education while having an extra $2 million dollars in your pocket.
yep, personally it sounds like Beede and his agent were "greedy".

Basically demanding a huge bonus ($3.5m). Banking that when he is drafted again he will be a higher selection (lots of risk..... system could change).

This decision is going to turn out badly in my opinion.
