Bo Bordelon has started a single game in his 4 year career and he’s making over $300k?

I’m sure we have some back door deal with his Dad going for that number

Pickett making 600k and Woodland making 800k seems wild

These are just estimates. I don’t understand the point of this

Is this what value is placed on these guys or is this actual numbers that these guys are getting paid?

No. None of this stuff is public. It's all estimated dollar figures using a flawed system to calculate a player's "worth" via social media following, name recognition, etc.

Yeah keeping the bordelons happy helps financially in other ways

That’s insane when you think about it

I still don’t understand how you sustain this over time

Observation and question.

Whit is a value at 540k

I wonder if Gabriel Reliford still gets full payments after injury?

I assume Pickett and Trey'Dez, just to name a few, have other deals that make them a good bit of money on top of this

ETA: Benefield is going to end up being a steal. I hope he becomes a 1st rounder.

I'd almost double Greens value over Watkins.

I mean, I don’t know. We hear about rosters being $40 million. The Texas and the Ohio State one seem legit if we’re all on about the same playing field.

It could also be all bullshite, but still entertaining someone took the time for this database.

4 mil to Seaton is wild. That dude'd better live up to the hype.

It all seems wild. Is this per year?

How does it compare to 2019’s ‘payroll’? Theoretically, of course.

Take those numbers with a huge grain of salt. Most are complete guesses.
