You weren't kidding! That's a boat load of money he just lost.
Corry reports that the $2,501,124 of salary guarantees from 2018 to 2020 will likely be voided due to the charge

You want to know how badly this kid messed up with his diluted drug test and blow out costing him the combine?
The kid was easily a top 3 consensus pick. Our own Peters wanted him at 2. He ended up going 31st. Here's the differences in total salary plus signing bonus.
3 49ers Solomon Thomas - $28,169,295 ($18,617,459)
31 49ers Reuben Foster - $9,048,638 ($4,711,527)
Granted, there were concerns over his shoulder too so the immaturity, drugs and poor life skills and choices all played a role together in the drop. But it also played a role in Paraag adding drug language to his contract, now costing him another $2.5M.
So altogether, so far, he's probably cost himself
$21.6M.
