I said it! And for a team with lesser character, I still believe it could cause resentment. If "playmakers" are pulling in $10k+++, I doubt a $150 jacket would ease the jealousy much.

 

That being said, this is a tremendous sign of character, and a great indication of the current culture of the program. Good on Cade for thanking his O-line. They most certainly deserve any love and recognition that comes their way.

I said and will continue to say something similar. 

A fucking jacket doesn't replace potential millions of NIL bucks. 

Nice jackets, and good for Cade, but OL will not get those NIL bucks even though they are sacrificing their bodies so the "skill" players can make millions. 

If you don't see that as a potential wedge at some point, then you don't have much perspective. 

Anyway, it is what it is and will be. Go Blue!

CAP THE NIL bucks imo. 

or should I have said #CAPTHENIL

Yes, let’s put a cap on how much money someone can make. That’s not communist at all!

Also, we will be restricting your income & the kind of car you drive, because we don’t want your neighbors to be offended!

Also, I need more perspective. Whatever that means!

those are lined carhartts which is what we wear around the farm.  real jackets, not little wimpy down jackets or windbreakers or rain coats.  customized with names and numbers.  that is so cool.  santa claus has come to town.

Good on Cade, but I doubt he shelled out for these.  The whole thing looks like a Carhartt ad, and I don't think you get an @ from a playoff starting qb these days without something in return.

Fun fact: a rural high school I attended in northern Michigan featured one gang, the Carhartt Gang... Cow tipping, Carhartt overalls, and Ford Trucks were some of their trademarks.
