No. It would be unprecedented and a huge red flag. Players like Lawrence have insurance policies for this very reason. Jaylon Smith is a great example where you can find some of the details about these policies. Lawrence is a baller, he's gonna be good. Like UT said he's up there among prospects coming out. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These guys dont play in the bowl games at the end of their junior year and its not held against them. Bosa basically did this and it wasnt held against him. Its only fans who think like this. Any pro and college team understand exactly what these guys are doing and its the smart thing to do. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not one team would hold it against him if he decided to play in the XFL for a year and collect endorsements or sit the entire year when he was healthy? It's a silly scenario that has no chance of playing out. Comparing it to what happened to Bosa is comparing apples and oranges to the nth degree.

Jet Nut Posted August 30, 2019 Share Posted August 30, 2019 4 hours ago, Joe W. Namath said: So if the xfl offered him 2 million dollars to play 10 games. And the endorsements he could start recieving. You dont think he should take that? If im the xfl, thats the guy I want to get this league off the ground. A marketable star. It would only be for 1 year but thats the guy they need to get. Because he can't wait a year, go to the NFL, get a 40 million dollar deal instead he should risk it for the relatively insignificant couple of mil? Youve made Bell into a money grabber, turned to a selfish player and a cancer for wanting to control his livelihood.

freestater Posted August 30, 2019 Share Posted August 30, 2019 His signing bonus after the NFL draft would be bigger than all the money he would earn over the course of a career in the Xfl. For losing all that cash, he'd have the privilege of having Vince McMahon running his life. You should take a look at what wrestlers have had to day about that guy over the years. Lol.

Butterfield Posted August 30, 2019 Share Posted August 30, 2019 I don’t think its as crazy an idea as people are making it out to be. But it would have to be for like 25 million, not 2. The insurance policy would still be available. If it was a 1 year deal, and the team knew he would play for them, he’d still get the number 1 pick. i definitely understand why he might still turn it down, but I wouldn’t blame him for taking the deal too.

UntouchableCrew Posted August 30, 2019 Share Posted August 30, 2019 Lawrence seems to be a great prospect but I'm stunned the degree to which he's been anointed. Here's a hot take -- I didn't think he was that great last year. He had some BALLER wide receivers make him look good in that title game on some inaccurate throws, IMO. He'll probably go on to be very good but I am not sold at all this guy's going to rule the NFL just yet. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TJ Posted August 30, 2019 Share Posted August 30, 2019 He's enjoying himself, he probably wants a degree. He's very religious. He's not all about the Benjamin's. He can become the greatest college QB ever. He wants to get better, hone his skills for an NFL career even though he could probably compete in the NFL right now.
