re: Damonic Williams decision day. Looks like LSU is out due to NIL...

quote:

---

When the rams won the SB, they were paying a DT far more than the second highest paid non-QB

While factually correct, you’re missing critical context:

1) Aaron Donald is one of the top 3, if not the single best, DT in NFL history. This Williams kid ain’t that

2) Donald was a draft pick, not a free agent. The core of that team was almost entirely built via the draft or trades

3) 5 of their top 7 cap hits were the big 5 positions

But I appreciate you validating my previous statement re: teams spending on top talent at critical positions.

Thanks for coming to my TED talk.
