Ty Simpson (is not yet in the portal)

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.
well, apparently it is for me.

It's hard for me to believe that Simpson would make more money returning to school in 2026 than he would make in the NFL in 2026 (if he's taken in the first round).

He won’t be making more $.

He’s locking in a base salary (higher than his current NIL package) for the opportunity to improve his draft stock and a higher salary/bonus tier.

If I said that, or implied it, my apologies.

I got you. But that's my argument. If Simpson forgoes college/NIL for 2026 season, and goes to the NFL and is drafted in the first round, he would make more money in 2026 from the NFL than the NIL in 2026.
 
Even though I despise Joel Klatt, he made a good point recently about QB success in the NFL. Most of the top performing QBs (ie the ones that get a second contract) have close to 30 or more starts in college.

If you want whats in the best interest of Simpson, you advise him that he needs another year of starts in college.

It is for some...............
 
Thank you. I can only do so much with the material I’m working with here.

I don't know if you have been following my line of argument. But I was being misunderstood. And it turns out that I'm correct. Thank you, go Canes.
Only in your own mind. Your short sighted argument only makes sense to you not the 15 other people that have tried to explain it.

Okay. Question.

Do you think Ty Simpson would make more money in NIL in 2026 or more money as a first round draft pick in 2026?

As I have explained more than once to you, the short sighted quick money is going to the NFL draft this year. Do you think Cam would have made more money going to the draft in 2024 or 2025?

That's not the argument.

My argument (not others; my argument) has been this:

Ty Simpson would make more money in the NFL as a first round draft pick in 2026 than he would make in NIL in 2026.

Do you agree or disagree with that statement.

That is your short sighted argument. Do you think Simpson would make more money being picked late 1st round(at best) this year or top 10 next year? Would you rather have Darts contract or Cams contract

Ty Simpson would make more salary in CFB for one year then he would in salary in the NFL unless he’s taken in the 1st half of the 1st round of the draft. The 4-5 year deal signing bonus is not part of the comparison as has been explained.

Now, if you want to change the argument, then we can do that.

So, new argument.

"Do you think Simpson would make more money being picked late first round (at best) this year or top 10 next year"? That answer is obvious lol. Of course top ten pick in 2027 makes more money than 2026 late first round pick. LOL.

But again, that was never my argument. I have contended from the beginning, that I'm (ME, not others, ME) arguing that Ty Simpson would make more money in 2026 in NFL salary (including bonuses) than he would make in 2026 through his NIL agreement. And others, when they have understand my argument, have agreed with me. In fact, you did too.

But the signing bonus is paid out the first year.

So, in 2026 (and only considering 2026), if taken in the first round of the draft, Simpson would make more money from the NFL (salary plus signing bonus) than he would make in NIL.

And two guys that have disagreed with me (I think because they misunderstood, no harm of course) now agree with me with what I just said.
 
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

There was no misunderstanding.

Of course if he gets the NFL signing bonus in 2026 instead of 2027 he would TECHNICALLY be making more in 2026.

Will he make more money in 2027 being in the 2nd year of his NFL contract and no more signing bonus or a rookie year contract in 2027 with the signing bonus added? Obviously it's 2027 when the signing bonus is paid.

The point is if you compare two years in the NFL vs one year at Miami plus one year in the NFL the Miami route means more overall money b/c the signing bonus is not relevant - he will get it in either 2026 or 2027 regardless.
