We could at least make room for him on the practice squad; his talent, heart, and local support are immeasurable. I saw him in action on numerous occasions as i'm sure most of you did. Play-maker. Package back, slot receiver, return specialist: Legit skills. Totally gettable late\FA as well unless he gets an invite and storms the combine which he might. Am I alone on this kid?

He won't be around as an undrafted free agent, trust me on this one. He'll be gone before the fifth round, potentially in the third.

And don't give up on him playing QB in the NFL. The two biggest knocks on him are that he has worked in a spread offense and that he's too small. Well, the spread offense isn't the hindrance that it once was, and the Wildcat makes his unique skillset valuable. And as a matter of size, he's the same height as Drew Brees.

He might not be a Joe Flacco early rounder from the FCS schools, but he is going to get attention, combine or not. Of course, I hope he does get a shot to show his skills at the combine.

IF he manages to get on an NFL squad for TC, he'll never play a meaningful down in the NFL.

He has been a lot of fun to watch during his time with ASU but he isn't NFL material.

Right. Since "NFL material" is so easy to diagnose. Just ask the scouts who analyzed Josh Cribbs, Tony Romo, Priest Holmes, Brad Hoover, etc. etc. etc.....

      In my opinion Fitterer was probably right about not paying McCaffrey. Now not wanting to "pay RBs" in my opinion isn't something you want to set in stone, to me it all comes down to the individual.

      Scourton isn't signed (& apparently it's a thing)

      Maybe I'm just not understanding, but everywhere that I have read says that signing bonuses go against the cap prorated by as much as five years. The following example uses Andrew Luck's rookie contract as an example. "Take Andrew Luck, the first overall pick in the 2012 NFL draft. Luck signed a four-year contract with the Colts worth $22.1 million and included a $14.5 million signing bonus. Rather than a $14.5 million cap hit in 2012, the Colts spread out his signing bonus over the life of his contract. The hit against the cap would be $3.625 million per year over four years instead of a direct cap hit of $14.5 million directly in 2012. This gave the Colts more leverage and cap flexibility in signing other players." https://www.the33rdteam.com/nfl-signing-bonuses-explained/ I don't know why some of you think that signing bonuses aren't counted against the cap over the length of the contract, but whatever.   "The bonus with a signing is usually the most garish aspect of a rookie contract. Bonus is the immediate cash players receive when they ink a deal. It factors into the cap, but only for the whole contract duration, in terms of salary cap calculations. In the case of Bryce Young’s $24.6 million signing bonus, that’s prorated to approximately $6.15 million per season over a four-year deal. This format allows teams to handle the cap and provides rookies with some short-term fiscal stability, which is important given the high injury risk in this league." https://collegefootballnetwork.com/how-rookie-contracts-work-in-the-nfl/ I understand how signing bonuses can be a useful tool in order to manage the cap, and as one of the article suggests, signing bonuses may become important if you have a tight cap, but the bill is always going to come due. I'm not necessarily referring to you Tuka, but it seems to me that others simply don't want to understand that fact which is why they're reacting to what I'm saying negatively. How odd. In any event, I have a better general understanding of why signing bonuses are used now, and it's generally to fit salaries under the cap. Surely players, whether they be rookies or not, love a signing bonus because they get a good portion of their money up front. This in turn gives them more security and probably amounts to tax benefits as well. I also understand why teams would not want to use signing bonuses, particularly for players or draftees who have a higher probability of being gone before a contract even ends.
