He ain't that good, that's why.

he is very fortunate, because he was highly overrated in college. He is not that good and will never be a steady starting QB in the NFL. His best hope is to have a Matt Flynn like career, although Flynn was a much better QB.

Iirc this was the guy that really started the whole nil/portal mess. At least with major programs.

Same kid that sat out his senior year of high school to get NIL money from OSU and never played a down. No thanks.

His nil money was from a family friend's kombucha company, not OSU. He only went to OSU because state of texas didn't allow him to get paid yet.

Member playing a full season in college and playing in a one read offense will land you exactly where Ewers finds himself.

For those that don't know- Quinn turned down an 8 million dollar NIL offer.

I feel like this is indicative of how ridiculous NIL is. I’d think the NFL is a lot better at evaluating value than idiots throwing money at 247 ratings.

I give him credit. He didn't want to do the portal again because he wanted to be remembered as a Texas Longhorn. Can't stay in college forever.

Money might beg to differ with you

People are down voting you but I tend to agree with you. Especially after the OSU debacle.

Is this a normal 7th round contract?

Now it is. League min of 750k.

Exactly. The next signed NIL contractual agreement released in its entirety will be the first. I find it fascinating that people are quick to question whether a game is fixed yet assume these NIL deals that have never been made public are gospel.

Had to take a pay cut

He is guaranteed only $131,576. So, if he gets cut by the Dolphins in the preseason, he's probably looking at a practice squad situation or would sign somewhere for league minimum for 1 year. That appears to be a pay cut from college.

It's good he's already made his money. I don't think the NFL will be kind to him.

Invest wisely, learn the playbook from a dynamic coach try to hang on as backup and eventually coach.

And leave the game with a still intact head, body, and mind.

Ok, you use the default number of your starting QB? Makes sense!

I thought Tua was #1? I wonder how much it cost him to get that number?

Probably just a default number like when you get drafted and hold up the #1 jersey. Might not have a number yet.
