An eight-figure contract. This is what we heard about for the contract Caitlin Clark signed with Nike, and the Wall Street Journal confirms it. According to the very serious New York newspaper, the future WNBA star has signed a contract worth $28,000,000 over eight years with her equipment supplier. This gives remuneration in excess of three million dollars per year.
This was also the requirement of his agents at Excel Sports Management: to find him a deal that guarantees him at least three million dollars per year. Quickly, Puma threw in the towel. Adidas offered six million over four years. On the Under Armor side, we offered $16 million over four years.
Biggest salary in the WNBA? $252,000
But ultimately, the long-term contract offered by Nike won the day with less remuneration per year, but the promise of creating a signature shoe for him. In the meantime, Clark is expected to become the headliner of the Kobe line, of which she already wore models.
Remember that the biggest salary in the WNBA is… $252,000 per year. With his Nike contract alone, Clark will earn 14 times more per year.
