Good for him. I would put aside 2 million of that right away in an index fund and leave it there for a decade. Set for life

Weak class incoming thanks to the 5 for 5. The 28 class will be loaded.

I was just curious and went look at over the cap to look at the average salary for a QB in the NFL. Only 29 QBs, starter or otherwise, have an average of $7.5M per year on their contracts

It's laughable that we're supposed to act like there's any sense of amateurism left in this sport when Mississippi fricking State is paying starting NFL QB money

With incentives, the deal could potentially climb above $9 million.


I thought this wasn’t allowed


If this is through an endorsement deal I feel like it should be allowed. If a player does well and gets more famous, the endorsement is more valuable. Could also be "incentives" to have more public appearances or something for the company endorsing him and not related to football.

This happens with non-college football celeb endorsements all the time.

But I don't know the rules.

Leavitt would not get that on the open market. He has shown he his mind gets fricked in big games and he has a hard time seeing the field/going through progressions. No one will have him playing better than Kiffin so I think he'd just get worse if he left.

No chance this becomes a horrible NIL deal, nope, not at all.

Over $150k a quarter, no matter how it goes

I’d like to be proven wrong but any college kid exhibiting the discipline required to stay hungry and play up to that kind of contract is going to have insane character

What a waste if money. They cant win shite there no matter how much they pay

Says the guy who is the fan of a team spending 50M for 6-3 and barely cracking the Top 25. Great ROI.

Taylor is a damn good QB, but shite is that a lot of money for someone who isn't quite elite.

I’d argue he is elite, given how well State played with him vs without him.
