Kyler Murray NFL draft decision: Comparing money in baseball and football

Baseball money or football money? That is the question.

Compensation is surely another factor Kyler Murray must be wrestling with as he decides whether to play baseball or football professionally.

It may seem trivial -- both will pay him millions! -- but the Heisman Trophy winner is assuredly weighing the compensation structure of both the MLB and NFL as he decides his future.

While the two-sport star is reportedly expected to enter the NFL draft, he has already put pen to paper on a $4.66 million signing bonus with the Oakland A’s. Murray would reportedly have to give back most of the money the A's gave him if he were to play professionally in the NFL instead.
