Sounds more reasonable when broken down like that.
You are splitting hairs here.... 450k over 17 weeks can still easily buy any watch they want. Compared to any policeman, teacher, etc, this comp plan is still life changing, but my point was about the ring and how any NFL player can easily buy a Rolex

The ring would be my choice if I were a football player.

Super Bowl 50...Ring vs a Rolex?

For sure the ring. A watch might be more practical as you could wear it every day.

I have a championship ring that was given to certain staff members, coaches, boosters, same ring as the players.

Here's mine and underneath is what a Super Bowl ring looks like. Much more bling. And more expensive.





^^ NCAA CHAMPIONSHIP RING ^^

Super Bowl Rings



NBA champ Ring ^^










Pro Rings are huge. And I think they are made from platinum now
