I believe it’s double that when you only play in half of them.
I was told there would be no math involved

Does this raise Leavitts asking price?
I’m not sure it raises the overall roster cost that much, but it could. You see it now where rosters are not deep at all because that’s where GMs save money.
LSU’s roster seems to be structured very well for the future.

This is NFL level money, no?
Dak's 4 year rookie deal paid about 2.8 million inc signing bonus. The Cowboys starting QB was making $700k a year for 4 years.
Rattler was the lowest paid starting QB last season in the NFL @ $1.1 million.
Tua was the lowest paid starting QB this season @ $1.2 million before he was benched or hurt.

It’s not sustainable. These players are getting paid a lot right now, but this will eventually crack. Congrats to him
It's going to lead to something similar to the rookie cap implemented in 2011 that led to a drafted player salary maximum. It can't happen soon enough.
ETA: The 2027 rookie scale is a maximum $12,136,447 in year 1 This falls between a 7th and 8th round draft pick year 1 deal in the NFL. A college, especially someone like Mississippi St, paying one player 61% of the estimated #1 pick's salary for 1 year is unsustainable and clearly not anything near what he is worth in Starkville.

There are only 29 QBs in the NFL that have a contract that averages more than $7.5M a year. So essentially yeah, that's lower tier starting NFL QB money. He'd be the highest paid QB on the Giants, Saints, Jets, or Broncos.

Over 50% of their NIL budget will be tied up on one player.

That’s why I would think the overall roster amounts would remain largely the same, Kamario Taylor’s deal just raises the QB market.
Then again, I’ve been thinking consumer debt in America has been unsustainable for 5-10 years not, yet it keeps on chugging along.
