I kinda think the same thing. That or he’s using Tepper to get more from Denver. If he doesn’t come here, you know everything they discussed in the interview will go straight to Loomis.

I still think Denver is the play and Payton is just using Tepper to drive up his salary asking price.

They didn’t just turn us down.

It’s hard to believe, but there is soooooo much smoke here. Candidates pulling out left and right. DC candidates are already being interviewed. Something is afoot.

Payton has been linked to Tepper since training camp. Remember people asking Rhule about it?

Lol at the extra ‘completely’ for Rhule.

Here’s the deal. Payton is going to coach another 5 years max. If he comes here, he is going to bet the future on a championship. All or nothing. Just the way Tepper likes it.

Bryce is 13 lbs lighter than Murray was and 20 lbs lighter than Baker was on draft night. Bryce is taller than those guys but much more ‘slight in frame’. That’s where the injury fears come from. Matt Corral is 6’1” and 212lbs. Bryce is 6” and 195. Since most college w/h stats are inflated, he’s probably around his high school listing of 5’11 185 Not saying he will fall, but I wouldn’t be surprised if he does.

Good chance Young falls because of his size.

It would be the McCaffrey load of picks correct? Makes you wonder if this was a reason for the trade.

Yep.

The guy is guaranteed to go in the first. So it’s $5 mil to stay or 10-30 mil to get drafted.

Top 5 draft pick contracts are $30 to $37m with 20-25m signing bonuses. NIL isn’t touching that yet.

Very true. However, it’s easy to avoid a team you don’t like. Just blow the interview. Give bad answers, insult the coach, talk about how much you like massages, or standing outside schools watching kids play. It’s not hard.

This is the 3rd thread on this exact topic. Finding an Elite player in the draft is a lot of luck BUT the odds are much higher when you draft first round talent. The data on that is clear as day. Guys drafted in the first TYPICALLY have higher levels of arm talent and better game film. Hence why teams gave them a first round grade in the first place. Are there guys who would be great if given a chance like Purdy? Absolutely, but the overwhelming majority of 7th round QBs would get their coaches fired. There is no magic formula. Get the guy you think has IT regardless of the round.

The only good reason to stay would be if he thinks he’ll be an average or below QB in the NFL. If that’s the case, it makes sense to milk that Ohio state NIL before moving on to the pros where a big second contract (and playing time) isn’t guaranteed.

Yep, that’s what I remember seeing. Tepper was more sold than Hurney was going in. Hurney had to be convinced a bit more hence why he did more talking.

This is wrong. The account of events from Tepper himself was Tepper and Drummond loved Rhule. They had to convince Hurney. Hurney probably saw the BS but wanted to make the boss happy.

Shes already unlocked that achievement. She’s moving on to other quests.

Nicole isn’t team president. She’s just an ‘executive’ of Tepper sports and co-owner. Gayle Benson (saints). She was an interior designer before marrying her late husband. Jody Allen is the sister of the previous owner. Im sure there are a few more.

Its why it sucks. Only a few teams have the money to amass all that talent. The rest just play for fun basically.

Is that Darold’s little Brother?

She’s probably just in charge of giving the stadium tour after each interview and cooking meatballs.
