Except he was pretty much projected by everyone to be a 1st round pick.

6.4 mil is like 3.5 mil after taxes for 5 years. He will blow through that being how young he is and if he dont make it will be working a normal job like the rest of us.

You can't possibly be this fricking clueless about how the one young black kid to make it out of his hood is under IMMENSE PRESSURE to "keep it real, and remember where you come from dawg". I obviously don't know the kid or his leeches, but I PROMISE you he will be hemorrhaging money supporting those fools. If he only plays the typical 5 years or so in the NFL, he will likely be broke when his career ends.

You must have missed the post at the top of page 3 that tells the agency he signed with and how he has two HARVARD MBA's to offer financial guidance.

What about Foster Moreau? Is he going to be a broke arse grocery bagger in four years? Does he have multiple Harvard guys representing and advising him?

His momma will also be very involved. You think she will let him blow money left and right?

Foster Moreau comes from a more stable family and CULTURE than Greedy does. I don't give a blank if Charles blanking Schwab is advising Greedy, one look at that room he was in is screaming he gone be payin lotsa light bills. Stevie Wonder can see this, why can't you? And for the record, Greedy should NOT be pressured to support his posse,(after all HE is earning this money and working his tail off) but that ain't quite how it works in their culture.

Still not a bad pay day.


That's going to be close enough for government work to late 1st round money. The other CBs' agents did a great job of talking down his tackling skills.

So he's a linebacker now?

He can cover a WR as well as anyone in the league, right now.

Another thought: I saw an espn feature on a young black nfl player (can't remember the name) but he talked about as an example of who and how he was supporting, at one time he was paying 85 netflix accounts. That is just netflix.

Logic would dictate he was paying for a lot of other things besides netflix.

Not me. I had a bad feeling he wouldn’t get drafted to 2 maybe 3rd round. His tackling is what caused him to drop. NFL is no longer a cover corner league. Teams use the short passing game as their running game now and it’s a must CB must be able to tackle.

In addition the $2.7 million dollar bonus he will still receive a putrid and measly $3.7 million dollars in salary the next four years. Yep, poor guy, hopefully he can scrape by. We are just so damn fortunate that we don't have to find a way to survive on just $925,000 per year not including the lousy bonus money. How do you know he has a terrible agent? Do you even know his agent's name?


Cool

He slipped to the second round and it isn’t due to not being able to tackle

If you can’t admit he was marketed terribly then idk what to tell you. It’s obvious

He also probably should have played in the bowl game. Something I didn’t say at the time, admittedly.

Doesn't mean a thing. Foster could still wind up broke and Greedy could wind up with a chain of successful franchise restaurants. Growing up poor may be incentive to never have to live like that again. Growing up poor also does not guarantee a person will always be poor. Especially when they sign a contract paying them over $6 million dollars for four years.

I would go with multiple Harvard MBA's over Charles Schwab anyday. But of course you don't give a blank - it would go against your BS narrative you are spewing.

Because I am not an idiot that makes shite up and runs with it. I had a bunch of people at my college graduation. Guess how many bills of theirs I paid.

You just have a shite opinion of Greedy and apparently judge people you don't know or have never met in a negative view. Keyshawn Johnson has lived what Greedy is about to go through. If anyone should be able to provide guidance it should be him - if Greedy needs guidance in the first place.

quote:

Greedy should NOT be pressured to support his posse,(after all HE is earning this money and working his tail off) but that ain't quite how it works in their culture.


Now this is funny. Make shite up and then make more shite up to go along with the original made-up shite. "Shouldn't be pressured" - Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha !!!!

What do you know about their culture? Greedy may be more cultured than you.

You do not know Greedy. You do not know his mother. You do not know any of the people that were in that room. You are using your pre-determined bias to judge people you have no business judging.

How was he terribly marketed?

What was so great about Devin White's marketing that Greedy should have done?

Was Josh Allen marketed better than Greedy? What were the high points of his marketing that you liked so much?

Well, the narrative was put out very early that he was not physical. If reports are accurate, he did not visit with any/many teams. GMs and coaches like to talk through these things, get to know the potential draftee, and decide for themselves. If a negative narrative is out there about you, you have to meet with teams and convince them otherwise. I've heard many GMs and coaches on radio and podcasts discuss how crucial the 1 on 1 meetings are before they agree to draft someone. Hell, not doing the face to face could mean you are injured for all they know, and don't want the teams to know about it. Jeff Fisher recently said up until the final call to let someone know they are on the clock and about to pick them, they still ask if they are healthy. He even said they want to hear them on the phone so they know they aren't in jail or were in a car accident. This is 2 min before they pick them. So yea, you have to be available to meet and answer questions.

Maybe the reports of Greedy not meeting with teams are untrue. I've read it numerous times though, so maybe someone can clarify.

If they are true, then you can't expect to skip a job interview and still get hired.

visibility, for one. Devin was everywhere at all times. Devin also played in all the games.

no idea, I didn't follow Josh Allen all that much.

The odds are a lot greater I am reading that situation correctly than not. Go ahead and continue to try to make 2+2=5 though.

You just continue to bash former great LSU players that you have never met or even spoken to in person.

The odds are a lot greater that this is what you do best.

What does that have to do with being marketed?


Teams simply didn't value Greedy worth a top pick. It had nothing to do with bowl games or marketing. Sweat went in the first round and he has a video beating the frick out of a woman AND he has a blown out Achilles


You think its about marketing?
