No athlete will ever gain enough money playing sports to get a majority owner status.

Mahomes/Jeter/Shaq---nope. JayZ? Nope.

You have to be in business and be successful to do it.

Maybe this NIL shit went to his head and he is very entitled.


**** him. No one is going to do that.

Let’s all remember and appreciate that Patrick mahomes was instructed by his agent to do minimal endorsements early in his career that might distract him. When he negotiated his contract he gave the chiefs room to build around him. It was only years later before he capitalized on endorsements and only recently where he’s building up his assets and getting a contract that pays his worth.

There’s so much more to mahomes than just his individual raw talent. I will always despise any comparison that doesn’t consider his character and leadership

This has come up before. Forget the player. Maybe Mahomes speculation circa 2019?

I think I remember that its against the NFL rules to give a player a piece of ownership. And anything the team gives you, say a piece of one of their other businesses, it counts against the cap.

Vermeil wanted to give a kicker a bottle of win for winning a game, it would have counted against the cap.

It would seem that he should be following the Mahomes model. Worked out pretty pretty good for him.:hmmm:

If I had the first pick I'd take Drake Maye without hesitation. Caleb Williams would be off my board. He's a narcissist that can't get enough of himself to think he deserves anything without proving himself.

Bradford, Mayfield, Kyler. He's the next OU QB to go 1st overall and bust

Exactly. Hopefully he isn't using Messi as the example because the two are in no way similar.

It was Tom Brady's ownership of the Raiders. There was speculation that he might play again, but he would have to give up his share of the Raiders. Players can't be owners.

There ya go :thumb:

He's already proving himself to be a dumbass. Only the Broncos would agree to something like that.

Just hypothetically, how could a team even give a player a stake without violating the rookie contract structures, or the team's salary cap in general? As something of value being given to the player it's certainly a kind of compensation.

So what happens if the team wants to get rid of him? Or if he wants to go to another team that gives him more money?

Heard that as of late yesterday he's now demanding that the team that drafts him not have any offensive linemen over 5'10" so that he can see his receivers downfield.

:whip: well played sir.
