Just a thought on the NIL / for Dakota Leffew in particular

I’ve been thinking about this and heard Devo say something similar on Cuse radio earlier..

But maybe the staff is trying to tread carefully on how much they’re offering to players from the portal…for example if they give DL, X amount of $$ and it’s quite a bit more than the rest of the players on the team are getting…then people might look around and say Hey Why Did He Get X Amount and I’m Getting Y, I’ve Been Here Longer and I Think I’m Better… This stuff really happens and the portal/NIL game is a real juggling act and is not as easy as some make it out to be.  Overpaying for players has potential to make the guys we already have on the roster feel undervalued or potentially then seek to get themselves more $$ (that we may not have) or seek to go transfer elsewhere for more money.

There’s certainly many factors that have to be accounted for with all this and I don’t envy any of the coaches trying to navigate this game now. By NO means is it easy building a high level functioning roster while also keeping everyone happy, on a budget.

At the very least there has to be reasonable negotiations and enough forethought to account for every possibility.
