The NFL Draft is an exciting affair not just for the fans but also for the athletes participating in it. For many collegiate youngsters, it is the path to professional glory, the stepping stone to stardom. They wait to be picked not just for a chance to showcase their abilities but also to pen down big contracts with huge bonuses, lavish perks, and add-ons. And Keon Coleman is no different.

Buffalo Bills traded down 5 places, and their first pick of the NFL 2024 Draft was Coleman. A 21-year-old rookie, Coleman became the highest-ranked wide receiver selection for the Bills since 2014. Amidst the doubts, the decision has turned out to be a somewhat successful one, especially if you consider that the Bills finished first in the AFC East Conference. Nevertheless, when it comes to the Coleman recruitment, it was not a cheap affair, let’s be clear. The Buffalo Bills had to shed a sizeable amount of dough for the Florida man.

The quality is quite evident, and that has earned him a signing bonus of $4,146,732. Yeah, you don’t pay that kind of money for a nobody.

And let’s not forget, they are also boosting his bank balance parallelly as we speak. So, even though there aren’t many reliable sources that disclose his total net worth, we can safely assume it to be in the range of several millions.

Besides these, he has become the spokesperson for two brands, one of them being the national travel planning company Booking.com, for whom he has already filmed commercials. Coleman has a personality that is so likable, that you instantly like him, the way he speaks, and gets so candid. And he is certainly cashing in on his NFL fame, which is just a practical call. As long as his game doesn’t get affected, right? After all, the foundation of all this is his exploits on the grass and what he does for the Bills.

What is Keon Coleman’s salary?

What’s your perspective on:

Is Keon Coleman the next big thing for the Bills, or just another overhyped rookie?

Have an interesting take?

Apart from the chunky signing bonus, the Bills are also paying Coleman a base salary of $795,000 in 2024. And that progressively increases to $1,252,921 in 2025, $1,710,842 in 2026 and $2,168,763 in 2027. The Bills certainly see something in him. He may be a rookie, but for the Bills, he is a wide receiver with high potential and a bright future in the NFL.

His first season has already seen him register high ‘average yards after catch over expectation’ figures, and score high yards per route that definitely helped Buffalo qualify for the playoffs. He even got voted the Rookie of the Week after his 125 receiving yards on 4 receptions in the 34-10 win over the Tennessee Titans.

Obviously, you can see the talent is there. The polishing is required, and with time, you will see a finished product.

The Bills had already planned about for this. Giving up their 28th pick in the 1st round, they went for Coleman in the 33rd pick and offered a juicy deal. 10 million dollars on the table across 4 years. Tying him up in a 4-yr-deal, the Bills’ intentions are clear. They want him with him when he becomes a refined asset, a developed player. They won’t just do all the investment just to see someone else reap his benefits. He is long-term.

And as for Coleman, what will surprise you is despite all the green the man has seen come in thanks to the Buffalo Bills deal, he still shops on sale. In a press conference recently, he got candid about how he shops winter clothes in the summer when the prices are down, something he learned from his mother. Talk about being wholesome and economically savvy. The boy certainly has got the brains.

We have to keep an eye on his development on the pitch and how his valuation soars as he grows. Many experts say he does have the ingredients for a long and lucrative future in the NFL. Let’s see. We all want Keon here.
