Rookies have it pretty good in the NFL. 

Well, until it comes to paying for dinner. 

Recently, when the Cleveland Browns went to dinner in Los Angeles ahead of a Week 13 matchup with the LA Rams, a pair of rookies — defensive linemen Siaki Ika and Isaiah McGuire — received their warm welcome to the NFL by way of a nearly $40,000 check for the meal. 

Every rookie has their welcome to the NFL moment, but the rookie dinner is notorious. 

But rookie hazing is all in good fun.

And the Browns appeared to have a lot of fun running up the tab on the rookies Monday night 

Ika and McGuire, welcome to the NFL.
