"His wife going to rob half of that": Fans can't stop talking about Travis Hunter's wife as the two-way college star breaks records with massive $46.6M rookie deal

Travis Hunter has secured a groundbreaking deal with the Jacksonville Jaguars. The two-way phenom officially inked a four-year, $46.65 million contract that is already turning heads—not just for the numbers, but for the way it's structured.

According to ESPN’s Adam Schefter, Hunter became the first non-quarterback not selected first overall to receive his entire $30.57 million signing bonus upfront. That’s not just rare—it’s historic.

Travis Hunter gets historic rookie deal from Jaguars—$46.6M proves he's no ordinary NFL prospect

Drafted second overall in the 2025 NFL Draft, Hunter wasn’t just any top prospect. The Jaguars traded up with the Cleveland Browns, surrendering four picks—including a 2026 first-rounder—to snag the former Colorado standout.

The heavy investment reflects how much the franchise believes in Hunter’s ability to make an immediate impact on both sides of the ball.

And it’s easy to see why. Hunter is coming off one of the most dominant seasons in recent college football memory. He caught 96 passes for 1,258 yards and 15 touchdowns, while also recording 35 tackles, 11 pass breakups, four interceptions, and allowing just one touchdown on defense.

His efforts earned him the Heisman Trophy, the Biletnikoff Award, and the Bednarik Award—all in one season.The Jaguars plan to use Hunter exactly how he was used in college: as a true two-way weapon. He’s expected to line up as a slot receiver on offense while contributing as a cornerback in certain defensive packages. Jacksonville is betting big that this rare versatility will help turn around a struggling franchise.Financially, the deal is set up to escalate as he develops. Hunter will earn $840,000 in base salary during his rookie season. That will rise to $2.96 million in Year 2, $5.08 million in Year 3, and $7.20 million in Year 4. Like all first-rounders, his deal includes a fifth-year team option.Off the field, Hunter’s life is also experiencing monumental changes. On May 24, he married longtime girlfriend Leanna Lenee in a lavish ceremony in Tennessee.

The couple has been together since high school, and during their wedding, Hunter gifted her a six-figure Mercedes-Benz. The gesture caught public attention, but not all of it was supportive. Some online voices reacted with cynicism, with one comment stating, "His wife going to rob half of that.

" Another added, "Watch his wife file for divorce now." A third commented, "That woman is going to clean the kid out."

Despite the noise, Hunter appears laser-focused on his future—both on and off the field. With his contract locked in and a franchise counting on his game-changing skill set, Travis Hunter is ready to rewrite the narrative in Jacksonville—and possibly redefine what’s possible for two-way players in the modern NFL.Also Read: Travis Kelce wins over Swifties with one subtle but powerful move that proves his love for Taylor Swift is real
