    He's probably our 4th best DT right now. What are the 2nd and 3rd best DTs going to say if you pay him big money?

    Give them all pay raises. We need DTs and need to bring in another one.

    Dang man. Already thin there. Not many SEC ready tackles in the portal. He will command a mint. Ughh top programs find a way to keep guys like him. Hate it here.

    Be positive about a promising Defensive Tackle transferring because we want to be cheap or your post will be deleted! Heck of a message board we have here. Lmao

    Or just let things play out before getting your panties bunched. A lot of programs are having players hit the portal. UF isn’t some sort of anomaly. Not a Napier fan but they’ve done a decent job with retention. It can’t be easy.

    "WE want to be cheap"?
    How bout YOU want to be cheap. Step up and take care of this instead of whining. Write the check.
    Oh and fyi.....since you are now paying a backup the money a starter gets, the starters want more money and the other backups want more too.
    But I'm sure it's not a problem cause YOU'RE not cheap.

    Documents his his new NIL, by posting videos of him buying his momma a new house and a car purchase...(Wondering after fee's and taxes just how much money he had left, when he made just those 2 purchases? Didnt play much last year, and you have to think that was pretty much expected. Was looking at at potentially greater playing time this coming season, but bottom line wasnt really in a position to renegoiate a significant NIL pay increase.) This one smells like its all about the money, cant imagine he'll end up a a power school like Florida where a increase in playing time as well as the pay day are both promised?

    With the House settlement about to be approved, UF football will essentially have a $15 million salary cap. Are we supposed to spend $5m of that on DT? Who should we take that from? Lagway? McCray? Barber?

    Nobody else is limiting themselves to a fictional cap number because of a settlement that wouldn’t take effect until 26. What a useless excuse. We just don’t want to compete like the Bama’s and Georgia’s of the world it is what it is. Thank Goodness for Todd.

    I don't contribute to NIL, so I don't complain on how much UF spends.

    How much do you contribute to NIL?
