Rookies

Ok here is a question for you. A rookie goes to training center to get ready for the combine. Goes to the combine visits teams and then after he is traded has minicamp practice. Once they get draft they have to move to the city that drated them and find a place to live. They dont sign a contract til training camp so how do they live for those 7 months without getting a paycheck?

I know the combine the NFL pays for their travel and teams will pay for the move to the city they are drafted.

Yeah I think Murph is right, agents or sometimes even banks give the high profile guys loans based on their future contracts.

I remember one high profile guy, Sanchez maybe, talking about some nice car he has and I was thinking...hmmm...how did he afford that being a college kid, not coming from a rich family and likely not having any kind of employment over his career in college?

(Probably hush money from Reggie Bush...lol)

I bet the agents do charge something, Squirrel, but it might not be as bad as a bank would charge. And certainly, the agent might be their only option if they aren't a high profile guy.

There's a current agent named Jack Bechta who writes for National Football Post. Perhaps that would be a question he would answer on one of his article's blogs.

    • I don't think Rodgers but probably not for the political reasons I bet a lot of posters are motivated by. I just think he is not the QB for the Panthers, at all. 
    • Sun Devils just scored another TD on BYU, 14-0
    • It wasn't great but  the 2022 NYG won 9 of 16 games plus a playoff game. He had a 92.5 passer rating. 15 pass TDs 3200 yards, 7 rushing TD, 700 yards 6 fumbles 3 lost.  His first season he had 18 fumbles lost 11. Wow.  Anyhow he had problems in 2023 with injuries and didn't win poo before tearing his ACL. This year, no Barkley, not good, but you know.... these ACLs take a while and it was right and he throws right so pushes off of it.  I agree it doesn't hurt to let that guy compete cheap. You don't hand him the job like with Bryce or NYG with him.  When I look at what we have been saddled with, he doesn't look worse and has the physical advantage. So I don't get the umbrage given our situation. This "No we won't settle for anything less that the best" attitude and then taking Bryce Young was pathetic and I think that attitude brought us to where we are. That's where that poo gets you. Away from Mayfield, away from Darnold, even away from PJ - just to replace them with an inferior PJ.  At the same time I am not really advocating for the guy just looking at it objectively. It could be another guy with the same story. And yes the odds of him getting it are low but the numbers and performance from 2022 are for sure better than we see with Bryce even after a season of major propping him up with better players around him. Take a look don't take a look he fails or he doesn't fail...   to instead sit here and be happier with what we have is bullshit.
