Looks like a keeper ….

ND made him look pedestrian.

Good luck to his NFL coach and OC. He looks like he will be difficult to manage.

 

[Patsfan1958]

This isn't true. He has pick 6's.

 

[captain stone]

No leadership = no discipline = turnovers & penalties.

 

[captain stone]

Good. Makes him easier to trade.

Tyron Smith, but only for a year or two tops and heavily incentivized.

 

[captain stone]

How does it go, Why don't you just give me a paper cut and pour lemon juice on it...?

 

[captain stone]

A pox on both their houses.

 

[RobertWeathers]

They had TV back then?

Yea we had cable and everything. Bag phones too.

 

[RobertWeathers]

Also curious when Bob will formally pass the torch to Jonathan

Yea. It can't be that far off. I wouldn't be surprised if JK handles all the day to day and the RK just deals with the big decisions. Kinda like a chairman.

Rumor has it that he says he’ll stay in college another year instead of turning out. What’s the point of drafting him then? Another disgruntled employee ..

I can't think of any player in the history of the NFL who has given up enormous amounts of NFL money just so he could make $4m in NIL money.

The clock starts for him when he starts his NFL career. He is locked in with 4 years of 1st round money so the faster he starts his clock, the more money he makes. After 5 years, the difference is potentially $40-$50m between entering the NFL or not.

 

[upstater1]

Draft order is set well before players have to declare for the draft. If he doesn't like the team at the top, he'll simply commit back to school and still rake that sweet NIL cash.

Let's do the math:
NFL Year1: $10m > NIL $4m
NFL2: $10m = NFL1 $10m
NFL3: $10m = NFL2 $10m
NFL4: $10m = NFL3 $10m
NFL5: $50m > NFL4 $10m

5 year totals:
$90m > $44m

A player that does this sort of thing can cost himself $40-$50m. NO ONE is taking this sort of risk.

Uche and Mills really


Phillips is seeing a ton of snaps on Special Teams, as it turns out. He's averaging almost 23 snaps a game on STs.

Mills has seen significantly fewer snaps. And that is despite the Pats having so many injuries at CB. I honestly don't understand the thinking of having Bryant out there over Mills. Bryant is the gift that keeps on giving to opponents. Always has been.

Agreed. I guess with Marcus being out. Phillips made his mark in the NFL on special teams with LA so maybe that's the thinking? However yes it don't understand why mills isn't playing more at free safety. Bryant is playing bt default. Just a abysmal season for the entire team.

It was sarcasm..

Bryant has been exposed more times than Brett Favres member on cell phone cameras.

That's the difference between this generation of players and others.. the NIL money has given players options.. there is no guarantee a 1st round QB will pan out as we've seen time and time again in the league. Your right though it's all about getting the second contract for QBs.. that is where the generational wealth is.

LOL.. he's a try hard.. that's what myles Bryant is. He's the 2023 sterling Moore.

There’s been a few players that went back to college for “ free” one more year so they could go try to win a national championship with their team mates. So the 4 million ( which to some degree is ridiculous) is a good starter home

I agree. All this money in the end will ruin sports, or at least ruin the sports many of us older fans grew up around. There is no loyalty on either side. It still sickens me to watch players after losing a game all smiles talking with to the players that just kicked their butts. To me that shows no loyalty to the man you just went to battle with …
