Why don’t more NFL draft prospects tell poorly-run franchises to kick rocks?

Cal McNair says hi!

Elway had other options besides football. If a team succumbs to players saying they won’t play for them then they open themselves up to this repeatedly. Not many players are willing to lose a year of their earning power when the window is so small to begin with.

I’m pretty sure a player could simply sit out a year and then re-enter the draft. Of course, that’s a big bet to take, but if you’re positive you’re going to a franchise that will never build a winner around you, what’s one year?

Elway had the threat of baseball to give him leverage. Eli came from a family that could afford to threaten he sit.

I could see it happening more with NIL where the top players will be coming out of college multimillionaires , but still going to be pretty rare.

Depends I guess how you view a franchises poor management affecting results and what a draft prospect actually cares about.

WFT was in the playoffs just a year ago. They have some nice pieces in place.

All the daily debate shows did a segment about Burrow refusing to sign with the Bengals, even Carson Palmer had quotes on it. Mike Brown is terrible, cheap, no indoor facility, coach is a joke blah blah… year 2 in the AFC title game.

Jags were in the AFC title game 4 years ago.

There’s always a chance even with the shitty franchises. Plus the only players that get discussed about potentially pulling this move are the top of the first round guys. Ideally you’d want those high draft picks taking on the attitude that they are the ones to turn around a franchise’s bad fortune. I think as long as that pay check clears, most of those guys welcome the challenge, at least at that age coming out of college.

Arthur Blank is in that convo, also.

He's not a top tier owner, but he's nowhere close to the same conversation as Snyder and McNair.

The Falcons just suck. The aforementioned dudes are on the cutting edge of finding new ways to suck. I.E. Jack Easterby and Youth Pastoring your franchise to death.

Just what we need, another league run by the players like the NBA.

No

This board and the rant was littered with LSU fans crying and saying "Joe doesn't deserve this".

Burrow and the rest of the Bengals players turned out not to be such snowflakes.

It's one year, until the next draft.

That's how I understand it as well, and that's a shite ton of leverage.
