Offord is already making over $1 million. They don’t have a case of the poors like apparently Auburn does.

I hope the staff understands that they can’t avoid the suck tax. Auburn can’t be deal shopping if they want to be good next season.

The AD said before Golesh was hired he wanted to retain the roster as well. Let's see how close he really wants us to be.

If he lets teams poach our better players then he is booting confidence we can develop players to be used by Auburn so whats even the point.

I have no doubt it is. Probably Jay's last year before going pro. Try and leverage a better deal out of us if he can, it's the NIL world we live in.

I hope we can keep him.

Ok, now it’s getting real. Before it could be considered culling.

Once I am College Football Commissioner I am swinging power back to the coaches and the AD. If the kids dont want to go hungry at night they better run til they til puke at practice.

Pretty sure we are well past culling. We lost a lot of meat on the bone with Simmons/ Perry/ Fields/ Carter. Inadequate production though one was injured and tons of young promise. We are letting money dictate football when the best form of football is smear the queer, go act like an animal and forget the adult stuff.

The free for all that the players can do right now is absolutely broken and needs to be reeled in big time. No arguing that.

He is worth it esp for 1 yr. Total shut down corner. Are we on ozempic nil? This is first portal entry I’m really upset about. He is one of the best players on team. Easily top 5 or top 3

The craziest part is these guys stuck with shite arse Freeze for years, but now they’re leaving when an on paper superior coaching staff comes in

We cant afford to lose all three of them.. Amaris is going to be a good one. I really like the way he plays.

Jay is only leaving because of money. He’s wanting 1 mill. If we get close, I could see him coming back.

Yea that definitely is wild to me. As I said a while back though, some of these guys it may not be a certainty they are gone. We may be able to retain them if we want to match the market rate. I think that is 100% the case here.

Don't know if we will pay what he wants or what someone else out there is willing to commit to him or not, but this isn't one i'm just assuming is already gone, not yet at least.

I can understand players that know they won’t be drafted or drafted lower chasing money in the portal. I don’t understand a kid that is projected to be a 1st rounder leaving where they already are.
