Been saying this for weeks on here. He'll be 24 before the 2021 season starts. Staying in college until then and trying to play in the NFL in 2022, now you're 25 years old before you play your first game. That's not smart if there's any way you can avoid it. If we don't play ball this fall, you'll never see D'Eriq King in a Miami uniform.
True but why transfer to Miami if that's really the case? He's already draft eligible.
Obviously to showcase his skills on a bigger stage. But taking less than a year off, playing 1 year at Miami, and being drafted at 23/starting your NFL career at 24 is a far cry from taking almost 2 full years off, playing a year at Miami, then trying to find a home as a 25 year old rookie.
There isn't a soul on the planet who wants to see this kid in a Miami uniform more than me. Manny Diaz included. You literally cannot be more excited than I am to watch this kid quarterback this team. So, selfishly, I want him here no matter how many seasons we cancel. I just don't see him sticking around beyond this year. Not getting paid a dime before you turn 25 can't sound very enticing to him.
Alpha Entertainment would have built in a certain amount of ticket and tv revenue into their model for year 1. The cancellation likely has the effect of rendering what was expected in their Year 1 model well below expectations. Maybe not fatally so, but definitely they took an unexpected hit.I don't understand...if Vince put away money for 2 years, and the rest of year 1 was cancelled, I don't see how that hurts His pockets.
