Ty Simpson (is not yet in the portal)

It's not apples to apples. Jaxon Dart made over $9m his first year in the NFL (salary plus signing bonus). You're claiming college NIL have to beat or match the base salary to equal what a first round pick would make from NFL and that is just incorrect.
That’s correct, for a top 5 or 10 pick. Not all in the 1st round are paid equally.
 
Mendoza and Moore are the two locks.

Would the Dolphins draft a QB (like Simpson) with the #11 pick? Man that's pretty high especially considering Miami is stuck with Tua and they have Ewers who didn't exactly stink up the joint. Also, Miami needs help everywhere: RT (Jackson is FA next year), RG, LG, Edge, S, CB.

I think the Steelers are not in a draft QB mode. I think they will likely fill their QB need via the trade route: Kyler Murray, Kirk Cousins.

IDK. It's fun though.
dolfin fan here we aint drafting a qb early. needs all through the team.

I'm not understanding your argument.

If Simpson returns to college, his NIL deal will not be equal to the money that he will get as a first round draft pick (including base salary and signing bonus).
 
Are you kidding me? This the the argument you're going to pull now? As if you have ANY reason to talk. Holy **** with you. What a pretentious a-hole.

You’re right, I’m nobody in that particular space.

Thanks for setting the board straight and enlightening all of us with your contract valuation knowledge and expertise.

Looking forward to many more of these life long lessons.

You're welcome. Any time.

he has been wrong a bunch of times before
I know where he’s coming from specifically here.

To be clear, he’s not saying that if this guy gets a high 1st round grade that we’re going get him but not all 1st round grades are the same and some of the 1st year salaries in the 1st round are less than what TTU just paid Sorsby.

Correct. But his overall money would be significantly higher comparing a 20th pick to a top 5 pick. You really believe Simpson is going to be a top15 pick? Dart was the 2nd QB drafted last year. Pretty sure most NFL GMs/coaches think Dart is better than Simpson. Simpson would be #3 QB at best.

He knows stuff you guys don’t regarding some of these episodes. If I’m @Ghandi I wouldn’t share anything on here with you guys because it’s not worth the hassle.

If Moore pulls out of the draft (afraid of the Jets; which I don't think he will pull out), Simpson is #2 QB with about 4-5 teams needing a QB.

Y’all are just looking at the base salary. Sorsby isn’t making more than a first round pick. Josh Simmons was the last pick of the 1st round by the chiefs last year. He made 8 million this year as the 32nd pick

Whether you agree or not, the fact is that they don’t factor the signing bonus, only the 1st year salary, as a signing bonus is guaranteed because the nfl team is locking them up for 4 years. The same signing bonus structure will be available next year, and presumably greater with improvement in draft position.

You keep bringing up the signing bonus as if he would forfeit ever getting a signing bonus again.

If he comes back for another year he would simply get the signing bonus the following year.

This isn't a hard idea to grasp.

Whether you agree or not, they don’t match the signing bonus on a 4 year deal for a 1 year deal. The bonus is available when they go to the nfl. You can accept it or not, I don’t care, but that’s what it is. That’s what it has been.

Thank you. I can only do so much with the material I’m working with here.
 
Ty Simpson is from Martin, Tennessee. Do you know who was in Martin, Tennessee today? Josh Heupel. Coincidence? Probably.

Vols think he is likely going pro, but if he doesn't, he’s a Vol.

Sources have confirmed that Heupel is simply trying to knock out his New Years resolution early and eat at every chick fil A in the state of Tennessee. Martin is checked off. 3 squares were had, in addition to a milkshake at all 3 stops
