The pay chart is contained in an article where Lane Kiffin says that NIL has made discipline a lot easier. Since obviously players are professional now, they will be treated like professionals...don't follow rules or miss meetings, guess what...you will be fined. Anyway, here is the starting player by player pay chart which personally I believe because it looks very reasonable and matches a lot of the rumors/gossip.

Well, Berry has some liabilities to work on...ball security and finding holes better. Weeks APPEARS underpaid but then again, I want to see the guy stay on the field. Hurt in the Baylor bowl game...hurt in the Ole Miss game. Doesn't matter how good you are if you can't stay on the football field.

What disappointing is that many of the loyal LSU players are getting paid less than the transfers and some of the HS guys. This is the new world/ Wild West.
I’m not against the pay, just need some guardrails and limits.

PJ Woodland getting paid more than most of the defensive players. Dayum!

The odds of Brown or Anderson being busts are supposedly slim, but yeah, those guys haven't made one single tackle in college and yet they are above D J Pickett who has already proven himself a stud at one of the most important positions in college football...CB. But then again, you see it in the NFL draft where they many times overpay on "potential" and don't reward the guys enough who have proven themselves over the years.

That chart is an educated guess, not actual numbers.

Man I am still not sold on Weston Davis at Right tackle. Dude was terrible last year.

I'm NOT vouching for those numbers but they are running quite the con if not accurate. There are numbers down to a single dollar AND they should be darn close because they match up pretty darn well with the rumors/gossip, and I believe Kiffin himself has confirmed LSU spent over $40 million in NIL this season. So pooh pooh it all you want...it is God damn close IMO IF not 100% accurate.

Yeah, Weston Davis looked horrible to be sure. Let's hope that he really has decent potential that the fired OL coach couldn't unlock. That is going to fascinating to see what a guy like Davis does at LSU under a new OL coach and also the other OL that left and went to various SEC schools...are they going to look better. I'm talking Adams...Echols...Curne if he can stay out of trouble, etc.

He was a high four star but man he looks stiff as a board. Definitely would like to see if this new offensive staff can develop players. The Kelly staff was total arse at developing anything.

Yeah, I just can’t get my head around that. How is he making more than Pickett?
If those numbers are correct

The only 3 that would surprise me are 1) what you mentioned...Woodland more than Pickett. And the other two surprises would be S Green the DT and Strey the OT being the 6th and 7th highest paid players. Those guys aren't even supposed to be starters here.
