I don't love the trend. Not sure there is anything to do to alleviate it. "vet players late in seasons (Ertz, Dalvin Cook), asking to be released just to jump onto a bandwagon"... just not for me. Like damn.. there are 3 total football games left in the season lol Smart by the Lions. Edited January 22 by btownqb 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With a 53 man roster and larger practice squad than before, you should be able to survive the playoffs with what you have in house. Roster maneuvering before the playoffs should be part of the strategy. IMO 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MoyeCowbell Posted January 25 Report Share Posted January 25 Brilliant move by Harbaugh. His NC will overshadow anything else in his UM tenure, so he will always be revered by the school and fanbase. Like him or not, he's simply won everywhere he's gone. And now he won't have to battle the NCAA anymore. Justin Herbert has got to be so happy. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Take a team to the championship game and then bail on the school to escape repercussions from his actions. No respect for Carroll and no respect for Harbaugh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No respect for Carroll and no respect for Harbaugh He’s a job hopper and has flirted with going back to the NFL before. Personally, I don’t think he’s escaping anything. I think getting back to the NFL has been the goal all along. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He served his time, and faced the repercussions. He is moving on from something that i would say did him dirty. He is like the ornery kid in class that gets in trouble all of the time that other kids get away with. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While living in SoCal, back load the compensation to the end. Then move to a state/territory with no income tax. If he's paid $75M over five years, he'd save close to $9M in taxes. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, Harbaugh was negotiating with the university to protect himself in the event that the NCAA investigation turned ugly so I would take that as he knew he was more guilty than was let on 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t think it works that way since he will get paid for where he worked (LA). That said maybe they will move again and perhaps then he will avoid it.

Well I heard them talking about the Ohtani contract on Bloomberg financial TV and they said part of the reason for the structure was to have the bulk of the income at the end when he could establish residence in a tax friendly state or territory 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
