The only thing that might be better than a multimillion dollar NFL contract is a multimillion dollar NFL contract plus the promise of free crab legs for life. According to the Tampa Bay Tribune, a Tampa-area restaurant is offering FSU football star Jameis Winston unlimited crab legs until the day he dies if he is drafted by the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Winston has a strange and controversial history with the seafood item: In 2014, Winston was accused of shoplifting crab legs from an outlet of Publix, but he later said that the crab legs were given to him by an employee.

Winston is far from the first athlete to be promised free food. Gerry's Grill in Artesia, Calif. is offering to keep boxer Manny Pacquiao "rolling in Chicken Adobo until the day he dies" if he wins his May 2 match against Floyd Mayweather Jr. The owners of the restaurant say that the boxer can eat as many meals there per day as he likes with "no menu restrictions." That might be better than free crab legs. Maybe.
