If it's $ he wants he should go NFL. Could be 5-6 years before big payday in MLB where as in NFL he's worth $25M next April. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

First Bo Jackson/Deion Sanders types only come along 1-2x every 20 years. Second...to be just a good nfl qb it requires year long work. Don't see a team investing a first pick and all that guaranteed $ without guarantees he isn't playing baseball. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bo was the overall #1 pick by the Buccaneers(there is another story there) but chose not to sign. In the NFL you control a players rights until the next draft. So Bo got drafted again the following year by the Raiders and they worked out a contract with him so as to he could continue to play baseball.

Still remember the reason I became a non IU football fan, when I was watching the coaches show and Corso talked about how Quinn Buckner needed to quit basketball and focus on football. 😣 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dual threat QB. It is a good comp. I was high on Mariota coming out of college, still think he can be a good QB with the right play caller. I think him having Henry, Delanie Walker and Cory Davis is a nice formable duo. They need another WR and I think that would really help Mariota.

Kyler Murray play in the NFL rather than MLB This what we got.....Kyler has already received his signing bonus from the Oakland A's. I think it is around 4.5 million. Some rule allowed him to play another year of CFB. But he is ineligible to play CBB this year. His career is over at OU for both sports. Soooo, if he enters the NFL draft and is a high draft pick and decides to play football only. Then he has to return the money to the A's. That is why I brought up Bo Jackson, very similar circumstances. He would be better going to the NFL getting bigger money. But I am a greedy SOB.

But start MLB players make more money. It's a tough decision. More money, safer sport, but chance the signing bonus is the most he ever seems vs less money, dangerous sport, bigger signing bonus and more likely to see a second contract.

Big difference though, Wily Mo wasn't a two sport star...just a baseball player. He was viewed as a "can't miss" but he did. The only things that I can think of for Oakland to do this is (1) They view Murray as a "can't miss". And (2) they are absolutely concerned about him going the NFL route. Sooooo, if I am Kyler I go to the NFL combine to see where my stock is. He may turn heads, he may not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
