  • Who the heck is advising these kids?! Late 6th round? I hope the younger guys use this as a lesson. But they probably won't.

    just college students earning a job out of college, starting at min 360,000 a year you would take that no questions asked out of college. Some guys want to get payed now and chase there dreams just like a college kid would leave college if some huge firm or company like CNN offered him a 300-350,000 dollar a year he would leave college no question. The purpose of college is to some day work a job in which you majored in or would love to do. Thats what most of these guys are doing stop hating man lol

    But when that "min $360,000" is basically guaranteed to triple if the player waits one more year, then this short-term greed proves to be a major downfall and a terrible decision...

    doesn't always happen like that. Take the money now and earn that huge contract in 3 years.

  • Streeter is an example of a kid who if he had have stayed in school, would have been at the very worse, a second round pick next ¥ear. Fortson made a bad decision as well. A big year from him would have possibly landed him in the third round or higher.

  • 1. I'm not hating. I don't give a rats ass what these kids do. I just questioned their ability to take advice and make adult decisions.

    2. If you think he's taking home $350k you're delusional. He'll be lucky to make the team and if he does he'll be lucky to take home $80k.

    3. I don't know what kind of person you were in college. Any college kid with half a brain would wait an extra year to become a millionaire instead of selling himself short.

    4. The NFL is not CNN or like working in a firm. No comparison.

    Exactly

    If you leave early for the NFL you're out there, no coming back. In the real world if you leave school to take a job and fail you can go back to school, dust yourself off and try, try again.

    If these dudes flame out that's it. It's over.

    If I was in that position I would make sure I did everything I possibly could to prepare myself before I left. Every draft pundit under the sun is saying these guys did the opposite. They left too early. Their draft positions speak to that fact.

    These guys that got drafted late or not at all won't get much rope. They haven't made these teams. Teams cut sixth rounders every Summer with out so much as giving it a second thought. All they did was secure an audition.

    It's the biggest audition of their lives. If it were me I would make damn sure I exhausted every resource available to me so that I was prepared beyond a shadow of a doubt to pass that audition. These guys didn't do that.

    Even when everyone was telling them, "no, stop, what a minute, think it over'' they said, "Ya, whatever, I'm all good".

    That isn't chasing a dream, that's madness.

    You said it best; "they cut sixth rounders ever summer"...why put yourself in that spot?! For all the guys saying they made it..."made an audition" is what they did! Vernon, Miller (should of stayed) and Spence are good, the rest; good luck!

    No kidding...and if you get cut before you even play a game the chance of getting another shot is very slim

  • with all that said, I think Streeter makes the regular season roster for Baltimore and contributes.

    You do realize that the nfl minimum is much more than 80k right? Like triple that!

    Streeter would have been a higher pick if he played as well as he did this year. What if he tears his acl? Maybe he goes undrafted you never know.

    Cam Cameron has been looking for a big deep threat for awhile. We tried to sign Malcolm floyd last offseason. Streeter will have every opportunity to prove himself because we have no one like him and we really want a wr Witt his attributes
