The Athletic: Jaden Rashada’s Unprecedented Recruitment -- Going From $13.85 million To No NIL Deal

I wonder what the agent/lawyer's cut was

 

12,999,999.99

 

I am squinting hard looking at this through my most positive Orange & Blue Glasses - but how is this not a colossal failure all around by Coach Napier?

Did he *really* think that he was somehow different than all the other coaches, that this pretty girl who everyone else clearly saw as a prostitute actually liked him for his personality?

139 coaches and support folks on staff, maybe let's take just one of them and make their job title "Person Who Makes Sure Coach Napier Doesn't Go Home With A Floozy"

 

Perhaps that’s the reason UF pulled the plug

 

Get the hell out of here

 

Have Rashada/family/handlers come out and really said anything about this? I haven't seen anything which leads me to think even they realize they're at least partially to blame.

 

That's a lot of money for very little appearances, sounds and reads like pay to play. Is how most of the collective deals are?
get paid x dollars a month, tweet once or twice a month to get paid. Sign a few items each month and that's it???

 

looks like to me the only one's that got any money was these writers of articles in sports colums off people who subscribed to them and bought them i don't believe any of them and don't read them all it is is speculation

 

It’s a all a big ruse and that’s the work around to fit within the supposed rules (<— laughable). Calling a paying member of a 3rd party entity to wish them a Happy Birthday. Can’t make this stuff up, smh.

 

You may not understand it or like it but making calls, tweets and videos to paying fan club members is what pro athletes and celebrities do to make money on top of their day job.
Personal appearances and personal messages is the in thing.

I knew you’d come running, you always do. I understand plenty, if only I could be as in the know as you though . It’s a ruse, and a joke!

 

Kid,should not have been so greedy. He had it made, all he did is had to shut up and show up

 

The Athletic clearly has a fake contract. It’s impossible. Nfl teams can pay a qb 50 mil and people find it hard to believe 3-4 mil a year? It’s ridiculous but it’s really not hard to believe. Potential is a funny word, would a college qb not be worth way more to a school if he was actually a great qb? What would the top qb in college go for in free agency which is really what we have with the portal. The pretty boy at Jacksonville would all but guarantee that Georgia would have won this year if he were available his senior year. Just remember they almost got knocked off in the semis. Players must be worth 25% of what pro players are. The money is there.

 

Nothing from nothing leaves nothing

 

ha , who’s yelling, I’m laughing, at you son! I’ve always wondered who these stupid moronic self proclaimed so called “influencers” actually influence, now I know..

Don’t stop sending your $$$ to Eddie Rojas, he and his wife greatly appreciate it. Who knows, maybe you’ll even get a “special” phone call on your birthday too.

The little funny emoji thingy is right down there. ->

 

I haven't sent a penny. I just understand the game.
I do find it funny and sad at the same time that all of this upsets you so much. With such few days you have left, you would think you would try to enjoy what time you have left instead of whining about things you have zero influence over..

 

Is that supposed to be a zing, really?? Ouch, oh my, poor me . Again, I’m laughing, at you and your nonsense. That’s hardly being upset or whining. What a hoot!

 

He was desperate. He was looking at two years of QB takes that included Max Brown and Marcus Stokes. That’s not what you want to bet your job on. Lagway is probably not a great option until year 2 or 3. That’s 4-5 seasons in for Napier. Could he afford to struggle at QB til then? And no player is a sure thing, so you don’t want to just go all in on Lagway and not have anyone else.
