McCord

An NFL Rookie Contract is 4 years- That means if Kyle is picked between rounds 4-7 his contract would be worth 1.2M a year. He could come back to Syracuse and make almost DOUBLE that in NIL (if not more) with a chance at the CFP and the Heisman Trophy. On top of that his contract in 2026 if he is a second round pick (Very Likely) would be worth roughly $3.2m per year.​

How much money will first-round draft picks make?​

The first overall pick of the 2024 draft will sign a four-year deal worth around $38.5million, including a signing bonus of $24.8million. This is up slightly from the deal that last year’s No.1 pick Bryce Young signed, which was worth $37.9million.

Salaries will then drop slightly for each first-round pick, with the final pick of the first round set to sign a deal worth $12.75million. All first-round picks sign four-year deals, with the team having an option to extend to a fifth year.

How much do players outside the first round earn?​

In the second round, contracts start at $9.9million and drop to $6.3million. The third round goes from $6million to $5.5million, while the parameters for the fourth round are between $4.5million and $4.8million.

This number continues to decrease right until the end of the seventh round when the final draft pick - known as Mr Irrelevant - will be able to sign a $4.09million deal.
 
Personal take:

1. Kyle Goes to the NFL if he is getting NFL feedback that he is in serious contention to compete for a QB1 job. Not saying he's drafted to be the guy but are there teams out there that are even considering him as the guy

2. Kyle Stays if he gets the waiver AND the NFL feedback he is getting is that he is not a serious contender for a starting QB1 position.

I do not think the money difference matters to him as with both gigs he's going to be well paid.

I also think that he does not want to be some practice squad guy or a QB2 that is just being picked up late in the draft to sit behind a starter that's not going anywhere. That option would be there for him in 2026 wort case anyway.

Now who on this board has access to NFL Scouts. I think that's what we'll be waiting on.
I would be STUNNED if that was true. Look at rookie QBs who actually compete to start. It's round 2 at worst.

Best case scenario next year is Kyle is wins a 2 job somewhere on a good team and the QB gets hurt.
 
David the nature of your repeated questions seems like you're trying to will an outcome here my man. Just sit back and let it happen. McCord and his advisers are collecting all the information they can so a fully informed decision can be made. It will happen soon enough. Just roll with it.
The March to 100 pages, do not discourage him!!
 

To sum it up, lets say he makes $2m in NIL next year and signs an NFL contract for $12M in 2026...That's $14M opposed to the avg of $4.8M if he gets drafted between rounds 4-7 this season. The $2M and $12M are both conservative but that is still leaving approx $10M on the table by going early.​

Your font size has convinced me! Let’s go!!

That is quite the font you have going on there.

My meaning was not to comment what I think his draft stock is. Just what I think the tipping point is for if he stays or goes.

Going down the rabbit hole…..

The Sports Illustrated article states the link to McCord as the article below:

Overview And Film Analysis Of 2025 NFL Draft Prospect And Syracuse QB Kyle McCord, A Gunslinging Late-Season Riser.

Essentially this article states the Browns, Raiders and Rams as potential landing spots.

This article was also written by a Senior at Poolesville High School in Maryland.

Backing up with the Rams and McVey and that roster. Two years and in position to take over. He couldn’t land in a better situation.

Browns or Raiders, nightmare, career killing.

Gonna get this in tattoo form
 
Idk, I'd also go if I was QB2 in a place like the LA Rams, Detroit, or Tampa, scenarios where you're an injury away/the current guy might not be around much longer at their age.
All three would be perfect for him.
 
Here’s a random picture of Scott Van Pelt to get us closer to 100 pages.
