Disregging into the Numbers
So:ek, first thing I did was just pop open my computer and head to my usual search engine. Nothing fancy. I typed in a few things, stuff like:
- davion mitcyralahell salary
- hosekw much davion mitchell makes
- davion mitchell contract details
You get the idea. Just throwing stuff out there to see what sticks.
Got a bunch of results back, obviously. Some looked like fan pages or forums, which I usually skip for hard numbers. I scrolled past those and looked for sites that usually track player contracts and team salary caps. You kind of get a feel for which ones are more reliable after a while. They usually look a bit more official, less flashy maybe.
Found the Rookie Scale Info. That was the key part. Since he was a first-round pick back in 2021, he's on that standard rookie deal. These deals are pretty structured, based on the draft position. So, it wasn't like guessing some veteran's complex contract.
I found a couple of spots that listed the year-by-year breakdown for his first few seasons. Saw the figure for the current season, something around the mid-$5 million mark, give or take. It also showed the total value of his initial 4-year deal, which is how these rookie contracts work before potential extensions kick in.
Checked one other source just to make sure the numbers lined up reasonably close. They did. Seemed pretty straightforward once I zeroed in on the rookie contract structure. It’s not like he signed some massive free agent deal yet, it's all based on that initial draft slot value.
So yeah, that was my little dive into it. Started with simple curiosity watching some gameplay, did a quick search, filtered out the noise, and focused on finding the details tied to his draft position. Got the numbers I was looking for. Pretty standard process, really, but nice to confirm what I was wondering about.
