I'm all for players choosing their own destinations if they're blocked...but this is pure bullshit on Mensah's part.
Hard to blame a kid for taking $10 mill

But screwing over his team by entering so late and giving them no options? That shit's wrong on his part.Hard to blame a kid for taking $10 mill
Im a pretty loyal person but I think I'd screw my team for $10 mil too.But screwing over his team by entering so late and giving them no options? That shit's wrong on his part.
Don't the player and the U sign contracts? Something ?But screwing over his team by entering so late and giving them no options? That shit's wrong on his part.

Sounds like an indecent proposalIm a pretty loyal person but I think I'd screw my team for $10 mil too.

We agree on this. It's totally wrong, but without regulation, I understand why it happens. From the players perspective, I'm not turning down $10 mil on principle of treating my team right.Miami and Mensah are totally in the wrong in this case.
We agree here, too.There has to be some regulations, some form of law in this Wild West of a transfer portal.
I second this motion.They should close this thread as moot. There will be no QB in the 1st round for the Rams.
None of these guys have earned degrees yet since this is all pre-graduation.It's all out of hand. Gotta get somebody in there to make some rules and regulations.
Maybe:
Charge them for entering the transfer portal.
Charge teams a percentage, like the luxury tax in MLB
Charge teams for each new acquisition, as well
Limit them to a number for each season (4? 5?)
Limit the players to 1 transfer in their career
Plenty of shit can be done to control it better than it is now.
Don't like it? Go get a real job with that degree you earned for FREE, if you fucking earned it in the first place.
Mensah was going in to the 2nd year of a 2 year, 8 mill deal. Its not like he took 10 mill over 0From the players perspective, I'm not turning down $10 mil on principle of treating my team right.
Its terribleBut screwing over his team by entering so late and giving them no options? That shit's wrong on his part.
I stand corrected. They were provided a FREE education and haven't even accomplished that yet. It's all about the benjamins. I wonder how much money the OGs make blocking for these guys?None of these guys have earned degrees yet since this is all pre-graduation.
I'm with you, I'm a firm no on the Simpson kid. I say draft another position or trade back for a future 1st. Gonna be way more QB options in that class.OK. So Simpson turned down offers from other programs for supposed high dollars - uhuh. Why exactly was Alabama not offering? I understand Bama has a lower budget than some but I'm kind of doubting Miami is offering Simpson 6.5 and Mensah 10+++. Was Alabama moving on to their 6'5" 2nd stringer from last year and wasn't going to have a place for Ty? What exactly is the deal?
Sorry. But I'm just not impressed by him. He not only looks slight, but he appears to play slight. And personally, I don't want us to draft a lower 1st or 2nd rounder for Stafford's replacement if he doesn't have really good upside and tools that could be honed by NFL coaching as he sits behind Matthew for a year or two. I don't see Simpson as that player. He seems pretty accurate but there doesn't appear to be much zip on his passes for the most part. I'm not sure he'd get away with a lot of them in the NFL.
Of course I reserve the right to deny all of this if the Rams actually draft him.
I cant imagine how someone could graduate from Duke, (or the like) and with a 5-10 mill head start on life could possibly failCan you imagine being 19 or 20 yrs old making $4-5M a year?
And “Next Year”’s draft looks to be loaded with QB prospectsIt’s funny that of all threads people want to go away, this is one of them. We simply can’t know if the Rams are or are not going to take a QB in the first.
If any thread merits the response of “if you don’t like it just pass it by” it’s this one.
