Does this mean he will not play in the bowl game?
Maybe that's why he's trying to get the biggest bag possible now -- getting rich in the NFL far from a lock.This isn't a good move for his future NFL prospects. He isn't even our #1 receiver and I doubt he is going to become anyone else's with his size and tendency to drop passes.
I don’t think this is fair. He is our #1 and his drops were last season. He was tight this year. He was under utilized this year secondary to the limited passing attack with injuries to Haynes. He is way more important and valuable than you are giving credit for. Fortunately we have good depth. I just hope Malik doesn’t follow suit. They both tweeted soon after the 2023 season that they’re both coming back.Ahmarean Brown 2.0
He may end up with more NIL to start but he isn't going to be a bigger part of any offense than he is at GT. This isn't a good move for his future NFL prospects. He isn't even our #1 receiver and I doubt he is going to become anyone else's with his size and tendency to drop passes.
Money is just one part of a job. Working conditions, chance for advancement and the overall situation all play into a reason to switch or stay at a job.This hurts. I can't imagine him having a better on-field situation anywhere else. It's gotta be the dolla dolla bills. And I'm not denigrating that. I'd leave my current job for better money. Most of us would.
Doubt it. He probably doesn't want to get hurt.Does this mean he will not play in the bowl game?
Rutherford is our #1. If we needed a catch the ball most often was going to Rutherford.I don’t think this is fair. He is our #1 and his drops were last season. He was tight this year.

From what "rumor" is....He asked for more Money from Tech and they said no. If that's the case, then he better land somewhere better (which will be hard) because it tends to leave a nasty taste if you say "I'm leaving" and "Oh I changed my mind"..... If $$$ was in fact the issue and he finds out he can't go get it somewhere else, it'll be a terrible business decision for himThis hurts.

I would imagine he already knows what some other school is willing to pay him. These guys all have agents and I'm sure they are taking calls all the time.From what "rumor" is....He asked for more Money from Tech and they said no.

No question...but you gotta consider who's an agent vs who's an AGENT. I'm sure there's a lot of misinformation and verbal language. Sort of like my salary requirements are "xyz" only to find out later that you're really getting the low end from from the new company. People can promise the moon, I just hope some of these kids are getting everything in writing. See UF for exampleI would imagine he already knows what some other school is willing to pay him.

Can’t blame any SA for taking the most $$$. At that age, most of us would do the same damn thing if given an opportunity to set yourself up financially with an NFL career more than likely not happening.
Exactly what I'm think. He was a baller and fast, but he isn't irreplaceable.This wasn't his most intelligent move. There's guys who aren't as fast as him who create more separation and do more after the catch. Let's go get a couple of those and a big X receiver and watch our passing game upgrade.
We HAVE to make a major push for this guy. Would be a 1 for 1 deal.
Not without considering location and organization stability. In the case of players the degree value should also factor in. State taxes are another consideration.Not just at his age. If you offered everyone on this board significantly more money to switch companies...vast majority of us are taking it.
Does this mean he will not play in the bowl game?
When players enter the portal, most of the time they no longer are involved with any team activities, meetings, practice, etc. He won't be playing in the bowl.Doubt it. He probably doesn't want to get hurt.
Then CJ Daniels would be my next choiceThat's not real.
