Former Alabama QB Ty Simpson Receives $6.5 Million Offer

According to a report from AL.com, former Alabama QB Ty Simpson has received an offer to transfer for more than $5 million...

quote:
“At least one program has offered Simpson a deal that could total $6.5 million to play in 2026, according to one source with direct knowledge. Three SEC schools have also presented offers of at least $4 million and more for Simpson,” AL.com reported.

“The hot pursuit for Simpson is, in part, a reflection of the fluid quarterback market for the 2026 season.”

Simpson is considering all options.

“Several teams chasing a shrinking pool of elite quarterbacks, combined with the pressure to field a CFP contender, could drive up the price for certain players who have yet to transfer and/or are considering the NFL Draft and are seen as transformative,” attorney Darren Heitner said. “It’s basic economics where leverage meets scarcity.”

Seriously wondering how long before people stop watching.

it will take the NFL stepping in because the talent pool is worsening to stop it now.

About to say frick it all. NBA is shite. NFL is shite. College football is broken 9 ways sideways. As much as I love it, this is the worst of any of these business models by a multiplier of 50.

I can't wait to see big name football players straight up retire after college football

He's considered elite?

If he is elite, he didn't show it against Georgia for sure!

Very good not great QB, who in my opinion is not worth 6.5 million dollars per year. Let someone besides LSU pay this outrageous amount for his services.

Clearly LSU isn't one of the teams or they would be shitting all over us already

Why? He wasn’t very good

DoubleDown•1 month

He had flashes of a good-to-great QB but for 6.5$ million?! Holy hell. I guess Oregon (Phil Night Nike money), IU (with Mark Cuban) and all of the Texas teams with Oil money are gonna run CFB soon.
This shite is insane.

Guy is worth about 6.50 after the way he played against Indiana.

In fairness he played behind an OL that couldn't win in Alabama 5A HS ball.

You mean 3.50

Go get that money, son. That's the name of the game now. Don't EVER let anybody tell you to "stay because you love your school" because IT'S A SCHOOL, not your Country, not your Family, not your God.
Get that money and you'll be capable of serving God, Family and Country all the better.

Miami is the one. Not sure who the 3 SEC schools are.

LSUgrad88•1 month

That would be the team that would make the most sense. They desperately need a QB for next year and didn't get Leavitt.

So none of this matters anymore. This era will not count nearly as much as before imo

Its an arms race, has little to do with the college or the state now

For perspective, Dart signed a 4 year deal at a little over 1M a year. Most of these guys won’t make it in the NFL so why not try and play CFB for as long as possible. He should take the 6.5M

TulsaSooner78•1 month

Your information is way off. Dart's contract is almost $17 million guaranteed.

PeleofAnalytics•1 month

This is nowhere close to correct. Sportrac dot com has Dart's final guaranteed at signing at $16.98 million with average at $4.24 a year. A first rounder at only a million dollars a year??? Come on.
