This makes sense. Fortunately, we're reasonably deep at RB.Chase Brown declaring for the NFL draft
yes. it will be interesting to see in what round he gets selectedIf one is a college RB that put up good numbers and scouts like, declare for the draft ASAP! The clock is ticking for one to get paid in the NFL at that position in particular.
Yes - although the math isn't that simple anymore - Chase was one of those cases where he would have made significantly more in NIL than a 3rd or 4th round pick will make and that is what he'll be - plus his living expenses would be a lot lower in college. banking a good savings before going pro should start to make a lot of sense to these guysIf one is a college RB that put up good numbers and scouts like, declare for the draft ASAP!

True, but at what cost to his professional future? RB's only have so many bullets in the chamber.Yes - although the math isn't that simple anymore - Chase was one of those cases where he would have made significantly more in NIL than a 3rd or 4th round pick will make and that is what he'll be - plus his living expenses would be a lot lower in college. banking a good savings before going pro should start to make a lot of sense to these guys
To add, even a fourth rounder's salary will top any NIL deal plus there is much better at either a second NFL contract or at worse a post-NFL CFL contract (his Canadian-ness is very desirable there lol) with less wear and tear.True, but at what cost to his professional future?

People bandy about theoretical amounts for NIL deals rather whimsically.Yes - although the math isn't that simple anymore - Chase was one of those cases where he would have made significantly more in NIL than a 3rd or 4th round pick will make and that is what he'll be - plus his living expenses would be a lot lower in college. banking a good savings before going pro should start to make a lot of sense to these guys
This is kind of a nerdy side question ā but does anyone know how NIL income is earned from a tax perspective compared to the NFL? Do they use something like LLCs as S-Corps for 1099s instead of the W-2 ānormalā wage? Just wondering if there are any nuances where $1m in one is not actually the same as the other after considering tax setup.we dont know if Chase was offered $1 million NIL to stay, but there are reports of that and those numbers are not unheard of in college football right now
we do know nothing in the NFL is guaranteed other than the signing bonus, and those arent huge in the rounds 3-7
the average annual salaries for day 3 picks are about 700,000 and the signing bonus is about 300,000. So if you if stick and make the team, like Doug Kramer did, you make about 1,000,000 in your first year , and 700,000 for years 2-4.
You cant fault Brown for deciding to leave, and he would not have been necessarily foolish to collect the NIL money for a year and then leave.
Injury is always a risk, and wear and tear on the body is another, both of which happen in the college game.
Best wishes to him.
For his sake, I hope the Bears dont take him.
For my sake, I hope they do .
As long as its not the Packers, Im okay with it.
