We really need him to win a Super Bowl, continue to rake in money, and then retire eventually to Starkville and get involved in town, whether it's NIL or investing in other things. I guess he could stay in Dallas, but definitely not Louisiana.

Things like this still give me a little hope we will one day maybe compete in this environment.

Just shows how bad Jerry jones is…if you’re going to sign him, why wait this late?
They did the same thing with Lamb.

Now they have the highest paid player in NFL history, and the 2nd highest non-QB on the same roster. I don’t know how these guys are ever gonna pay anybody else.

All I want from Dak for Christmas is 4 5-stars on the defensive line. Make it rain my man.
and a son who is equally talented at the game of tackle football and has Doogie Howser intellect that will graduate high school at the age of 15

@CharlieWinfield, with the amount of contract money that our alums have racked up in the NFL, can you comment on any new packages that will be helping our NIL? Also, is our NIL competitive in this era(If you’ve already addressed this, my apologies)?

Not bad for tight end. Everyone can go back to bashing him on a regular basis.

I think he's gonna start the year really missing his offensive line from last season.
Yeah a rookie starting his first game at LT vs Myles Garrett is not ideal

NFL players in general don’t give much money back to their schools.

Yeah... most folks don't understand "he's got a little money" compared to "wealthy".

The vast majority of former NFL players "got a little money". But when their career is over, so is their earning potential. They can't even consider donating millions/year.

To move the needle you need to target "wealthy" individuals.

Yup. Could have saved $16-20 million by just getting this done a year ago…..and he’d STILL be the highest paid QB right now.

But nah. Slow played it till the end….let Love, Lawrence, etc. reset the market. And here we are.
