    2010 #1 pick (overall) rookie Sam Bradford held out of spring OTAs and demanded an (at the time) epic deal - 6 year, $78M, $50M guaranteed.  That led to the roookie wage scale, where nowadays rookies pretty much have standard deals with only a few points to negotiate.  They pretty much needed this, with free agency driving 2nd contracts up.

     

    I don't think any of the owners wish to go back to the days when an unproven rookie who had yet to play a snap could shake them down for an (at the time) massive contract - not unless the salary cap and free agency operate differently.

     

    It's not about what he thinks of himself - no problem with asking for what you want.  But he has to realize that there's a collective bargaining agreement, and part of that negotiation was the rookie wage scale. 

     

    Which does not include ownership options.

     

     

    I think a team will still draft him, the same way the Bills drafted Jim Kelly.  Then his choice will be, play for that team after signing the rookie wage scale contract for his draft position, or sit out.

    Immediately I thought of Bradford completely agree with you, my thought is how is gonna change his draft.

    I would be very surprised if he goes undrafted.  I would be surprised if he drops in the first round.  Someone will go for talent, and bet on the league's lawyers and their own to straighten him out.

    Its not about talent, a lot of teams give up on talent just to get rid of divas

    No more than any rookie really.

     

    And as a UDFA, there's nothing stopping him from signing an equivalent of a 1st round pick contract. Or more.

     

    If it was open bidding with the Vikings, Patriots, Titans, and Commanders, he could probably do pretty well.

     

    I dont think it will happen. Nor do I think he's serious about the ownership thing, if that's even true. But I do like the player/ownership talk. Good for the players.

     

    Oh I agree. It's 11pm, I'm high. This is what you get.

    Bruh…same 🤣 

     

    idk if its good for the nfl though

    It won’t happen but the real problem is his dad. His dad has always been the straw that stirs him.  

    Ball family of the NFL? I’d like to know more

    Maybe it's a move to go undrafted and then he gets to be a Free Agent and have some say in where he starts his career. Might cost him some money upfront, but its all about the 2nd contract anyways. Look at Purdy.

    Super interesting take, great theory but banking on health and play is a hugeeeee risk

    Can’t blame a guy for trying IMO

    Buttttt could cost himself millions down the line. He’s essentially banking on himself becoming a goat. Love the confidence but damn slow down kid 🤣

    Well, he's not the first to ask this. Aaron asked this from the Jets. The Jets didn't say no. The NFL League Office did.

    Aaron is an established talent, one of the best of all time. Caleb hasnt proved jack ish in the pros two totally different circumstances

    If I was a scout / GM….this immediately makes me question if he really loves football or will get his $$$ and then TANK. It happens to many, especially high profile college QB’s

    An absolutely excellent talent but yes it makes me question his love of the game. The greats have built their net worth then invested. Speaks to the entitlement of this generation IMO

  7. Per reports, Caleb Williams is demanding part ownership of whatever team that drafts him. I wanna hear what my favorite people gave to say about this!

     

    Personally I think this could potentially destroy his draft stock unless he backs off of it. Absolutely ludacris to think that much of yourself
