Draft Updates (Tony Pauline)

Do any of these guys think, if it doesn't work out there's the CFL? Any idea what pay is like there? Is that even a realistic thought for any of them?

I don’t think many have that in their minds but it’s definitely a fallback. If you’re not a QB the minimum there is like 58k in Canadian dollars

I always said i would go back for my Masters later - yeah, that never happened. The longer you're out the harder it is to go back. I love to learn but hated classes and standardized testing. In the end it didn't matter for me bc my industry is about experience and decision making as much as it is degrees.

So i ask, why not finish it out now while getting bigger, stronger, faster (possibly) and more experienced so you are at your absolute peak for that NFL job interview?

1) I'm assuming IT field. Because I have my Masters, but my experience is really what matters right now.
2) This is why you go with the long-term thinking. What point is it to make a rash move that will impact you for years down the road, while taking a huge miscalculated gamble to just earn practice squad money for a couple of years in an effort to try and support your family?

Yes but they come back with no room/board, no training table, no health insurance, no books/supplies, no tutoring, and no stipend.

good! I'm not advocating, I'm just trying to understand some of the decisions!

Net of taxes and living expenses, that ain’t leave a guy with a lot of Loonies.

Bandy thinking about declaring early is because of a family situation, not wanting to get the **** out of Miami. But go ahead and keep sh*tting on Miami every chance you get.

If Miami were SEC, boosters would take care of his family situation.
