If we see Mittlestadt in Rochester / Buffalo, does that burn a year of ELC? Is it worth it?
- Lilroot9

Pretty sure he can be sent to Rochester to play and as long as he doesn’t get paid, it doesn’t effect his NCAA eligibility.

Pretty sure other guys have done it.

If I was cousins I would be pretty pissed off I think I deserve a six-year deal

It’s 91 mil guaranteed..........

Still leaves him one last big deal to sign.


That’s a shade under 135 mil guaranteed he’s made in the last 5 years. That’s gotta be the most guaranteed money an NFL player has made over a five year period.

I think the AHL is considered "professional hockey" though. If he played there, he'd be a pro. Does that jive with the NCAA? Players can play for no money?

I think the only way that happens is if guys are on a PTO, which I've only seen from UDFAs, non active NCAA players (seniors) and CHL players end of season. Never seen an active NCAA player play on a PTO. I'm sure someone will dig someone up though. They can play up to 25 games and they can only play in the ECHL/AHL. Plus, they're paid, and I believe that voids their NCAA eligibility.

There no guarantee in this business as far as staying out.

91 mil is a ton of cash

3 years is settle down time in that business and it’s guaranteed money. He’s essentially uncutable.

Is he ALS alum? What time frame?
- Der Kaiser

No sir, he's a Lemoyne grad from 2002.

Played rugby and baseball for Lemoyne, but he had a bunch of friends that went to Albany Law.

Maybe so.

He can get this beautiful touring bus for the equivalent of 1/3rd of one game's pay. So roughly 1.3 quarters of a game for his own tour bus

When the average NFL player plays 3 years, 3 years in one place can be a luxury. Take the 91 mil, go to Minn, and if you want your family to stay in one place, either get an extension from Minn, or retire. Nine figures should be enough to put his and his wifes parents in great homes, himself in great homes, and if he goes the Rivers route, his 14 kids in great homes.

91 mil secures any family

even the brady bunch

jets suck when your on one with 200 other people, when you have to go though terminals, and deal with all the people.

when you have your own jet they don't suck at all. you get out of your limo and board the plane. sit have drinks, dinner, take a nap in your private suite.

They cost like $500k to refurbish, but Amtrak only charges $2.10 a mile to pull it. That's a value

Exactly. Nine figures in total income is hard to blow through. Not saying it can't be done, but if you're a family man like he is being portrayed, chances are you don't.

Criscuolo out 4-6 weeks

I really want Mayfield but I am not on board with giving up both 1sts this year a 1st next year a 2nd this year and maybe a 3rd next year to do it with the amount of holes on this roster and lack of depth they need all of the draft capital they can get
- Stripes77

They do for sure.
I am just sick of watching inept play from the QB.
Fill the holes in future drafts / smart FA pickups

It's true about the video games and everything but Jets still suck and plus more people die
