No
He was supposed to go to Tennessee before A&M made him an offer he couldn't refuse. I would expect to land at Tennessee or some Top 10 school.
I would think that if some school felt they were close to making a real push in the playoffs next year, that they would make a huge push in landing him for 1 year before he goes pro. I expect he will get 7 figures from someone.
Man if schools are actually paying 7 figs for a DT we are beyond salvation
7 figures for this? No thank u.
Absolutely. Premium player at a premium position.Quote:

What a player is "worth" is irrelevant if we can't afford to pay what others are offeringQuote:

We do not.
Things I'd like to know....
What was he promised to sign at aTm? (He moved to Powell tn his sr year to be close to Knoxville). They must have broke the bank.
Did he actually get this money at aTm?
(Assuming he was paid)Did whoever paid this money at aTm, do they feel stupid now that he took their money, didn't win anything significant and now he is gone?
We gotta be smart with our money. Also I wouldn't spend that money every year either. Nolan for example, pass this year. Why? He is only playing one year. We ain't winning but 6-7 games with or without him. Don't waste that much money this year.Quote:

He's not worth 7 figures. He didn't change the outcome of a single game. No thanks.
Add CB. Anything that affects the qbQuote:

Well technically, we have 7 figure to pay a single DT. But it would kill the rest of the DL and other spots. So no, we don't have enough to pay Nolan his asking price.Quote:
