San Francisco 49ers players have revealed that the $332,000 bill they racked up at a restaurant which rookies had to pay was a prank, confirming that the new players did not have to pay the whopping amount.
It's tradition for rookies to pick up a dinner bill in the United States, with first year professionals left having to pay their dues, literally, in their rookie season.
But many had accused Niners veterans of taking that way too far recently, when multiple players shared images and videos of a $322,000 bill spent on Monday. Although rookie contracts have become more lucrative in recent years, they remain the lower paid guys on the roster.
