Bye Week Content (Monday): "...if you had $1M in NIL dollars..."
We are officially on our bye week, which means that I get to create my goofy threads...that some people love and others hate (whatever, don't click, it's not like there is a crazy amount of activity this week).
You have $1M in "NIL Money"...who are you bringing back in 2024?
• Donovan Edwards: $750,000
• Rod Moore: $750,000
• Jaylen Harrell: $500,000
• Braiden McGregor: $500,000
• Jack Tuttle: $375,000
• Josiah Stewart: $375,000
• Karsen Barnhart: $250,000
• Cam Goode: $125,000
• Keshaun Harris: $125,000
(note: value is determined by NFL Draft value, not their current standing on the team - meaning, Barnhart value to Michigan as a starting tackle is worth $1M, but he's currently unlikely to get drafted high...so it shouldn't take as much to bring him back. For other players, value could be determined against the potential for them to transfer)

I'd pool with whomever to do whatever it takes to bring JJ back.

I want to say Edwards, but I'm conflicted because of the guys behind him (Thunder and Thunder) and the possibility that the coaches will use him like a regular feature back. Assuming JJ goes, though, it sure would be nice to give the new QB two elite check-down targets in Edwards and Loveland. So, I'll say Edwards and Barnhart and hope that next year's play-caller calls more RB screens.

He doesn’t see the field well and he doesn’t break tackles. Save your money on Edwards.

I'd pay Kenneth Grant to swallow Stalions.
October 23rd, 2023 at 8:16 PM ^
Well, I'd buy you a fur coat
But not a real fur coat, that's cruel

What about kraft dinner?
October 24th, 2023 at 6:29 AM ^
We’d just eat more of it.
October 23rd, 2023 at 9:07 PM ^
If I have to pick I'm taking offense skill players, as our defense seems to roll no matter who lines up. I'm taking Edwards and giving him the lump. He can turn average plays into first downs and tds.

Each of them gets 100K and then I take the other 100 as their representative.
October 24th, 2023 at 12:01 AM ^
At this point, Edwards is also unlikely to be drafted high, or maybe not at all.
October 24th, 2023 at 1:17 AM ^
Yea I think Edwards returns and tries to be RB1 for us next year. His stock has plummeted, and it’s not for a lack of touches, which is strange

Can also see us being more of a run-based team next year with QB really being an unknown. You can hype up the 2/3rd string guys, but the drop-off after JJ is huge. The ideal dream is we do what ND has done, bring in a transfer who can start right away and will only be there this year. Heck, with Ewers hurt and them being stacked at QB, could you imagine if Ewers transferred here for a year after being at OSU? There are a few other names that I could see entering the portal, Klubnik out of Clemson since Clemson is imploding, Cam Ward out of WSU could want to go somewhere with more exposure, and same with Brady Cook out of Missouri. We do have Davis coming, but freshman QBs rarely do well unless they are at the top of the rankings.
