It really just felt like a big misread of that market. Honestly similar to what happened in basketball the prior couple years with the big man market, but there was no Euro lever to pull in football to get out of it.

as our inability to replace them. The portal guys we got all were role players at lower level schools. If this was the strategy then I seriously question our ability to evaluate that position.
Now if it’s money then i worry we will be back to 2-10 in a hurry

That’s different money. If he went to like Washington or Arizona or something I’d be pissed. Well I’m still pissed, but I know we’re playing a different game than that.
Tennessee offered altmyer double. We only kept him because the guy’s a legend and a different cat. Not everyone is that guy. Previous Message
...he was in line to be a star on next year's defense, and we just watched him walk out the door. I know he's not Johnny Newton, but remember what the 2023 defense looked like when #4 wasn't on the field?
That's the marginal dropoff we're staring at this year... we have basically nobody at DT who projects as a + player at this level right now.
DTs just don't grow on trees... don't know how we let that happen... I'm sure there was tampering out the ass, but... gotta find a way to pay that guy.
We are gonna give up 200+ YPG rushing this year.
