I thinking Wingo stays with any 7 figure offer. CBK learning a hard lesson here. You can’t just plug and play if you don’t want to pay big dollars.
Wingo went in the 6th round. He was obviously not worth 7 figures. Desperation leads to bad decisions and our staff/NIL program has decided to not do that.

I'm not arguing what Wingo is or isnt worth. But he was by far the best DT we've had on this roster the last 2 seasons now. He unfortunately missed a handful of games this past season which probably didnt help his draft stock, but a 6th round pick still signs 4-year $4.2M deal with $200k singing bonus in his spot which while not insignificant we might have made a bette rNIL play to get him to stay.
My guess is he thought he would go way higher than the 6th round and it simply didnt work out for him. Even a mid 3rd round pick signs a 4 year almost $6M deal with $1M signing bonus which is probably about where he thought he could end up.
I think we could have easily competed NIL wise with a $200k signing bonus, maybe not so much a $1M one.
