Do you think the NIL could help return some seniors, such as ZVR?

Do you think McMathnis making 660k+ in NIL money?

No but even if you’re a 6th round talent, there is still a chance you could go undrafted. What amount of cash do you take to hedge against the chance of not getting that $600k contract

Realistically, I couldn’t see him bringing in more than $35k in endorsements and that’s being generous. He had a year remaining and he’s a punter. Outside of LSU, he wouldn’t get much money.

Even undrafted players make some money.

I dont Think McMath was a guy who would be making all that much money from NIL

What makes you think he has a brand lol

do you think NIL could have kept a guy like ZVR for another year, since he went Undrafted?

---

No. ZVR was ready to move on, and he might have actually hurt his chances at getting drafted if he had waited another year.

Also, what do you think is the min NIL dollar amount that would convince a late rounder (5-7) to come back for another year? Think racey mcmath. For reference, he got drafted 6th round and he signed this contract:
2021 $660K
2022 $825K
2023 $940K
2024 $1.05M

This is a better question. I think it takes a lot more than many folks would guess. I also think it really depends on the player’s situation. If a guy is going to see less playing time the next year, or if his draft stock is as high as it will ever be, I don’t think there’s any amount of NIL money (short of legit NFL rookie salary money) that makes it worthwhile for them to come back - IF they actually have a legit shot to be drafted. I kind of think McMath falls into this category.

OTOH, I think the math is much different for guys who would be mid-late round picks and are pretty much guaranteed to start if they return. If a guy has a 5th round grade but only a year or so of starting experience, maybe it’s worth it for him to come back if he can make $50-100k in NIL money with the chance to move up to a 3rd round pick.

That said, I don’t think the guys who are projected 5th round picks will be the ones making 6 figures in NIL money. I suspect it’s more likely that that kind of money will go to the guys who are early round locks, and that ultimately it won’t convince very many players to stick around for their senior year. But it’s a new frontier so I guess nobody really knows exactly what it will look like yet.

I think NIL will be an incentive for Myles Brennan not to transfer right away when he finds out Max will be the starter and to remain the backup for the remainder of the season while at the same time he collects NIL. Then, of course, Myles will then transfer after the 2021 season and it would be my guess he will transfer to Ole Miss to play for Lane Kiffin in 2022

ZVR could’ve made a lot of money on kicking camps over the summer. Not $660k but still good money.

What seems strange about this whole NIL business is that a player can spend his college years banking NIL money but as soon as he signs with an agent his college career is over….is this correct ?
