Shedeur told the Ravens not to draft him per Shefter

[yseJ]

It's the same reason players in the later rounds tell teams not to draft them so they can personally pick which team they want to negotiate their undrafted free agent contracts with post draft.….

This doesn't really happen.
Being drafted means getting a better contract, including guaranteed money, and usually teams are far less likely to cut players who were drafted.

An udfa contract starts with rookie minimum and has no guarantees; not to mention most udfas are being cannon fodder on practice squad and are always in danger of getting cut.


So no, players in the later rounds have very little incentive to tell teams to not be drafted. They lose financially and have less job security.


Wouldn't there be some examples if what you were saying was true? Who were some players who told teams not to draft them in later rounds and instead wanted to be udfas?

Who told you this? Lol

Again you goofy c00ns clearly dont know what the fukk you're talking about Number one this is the NFL the only contracts negotiated as fully guaranteed are in the first round any thing after that is differing degrees of partial.

So going to a place as a late draft pick with little viable opportunity to showcase your skills can results in getting cutting cut anyways making that drafted contract irrelevant.

Making a team roster > getting drafted

The 2025 NFL Draft is over, and the players chosen during the draft, as well as those who signed as undrafted free agents, are reporting to rookie minicamps for their first taste of life in the NFL.

Again, you goofy nikkas and your constant obsession with speaking out of pure unmitigated ignorance is something I find great joy laughing at

highly ironic your remedial ass reading comprehension prime stanning ass accuses others of ignorance while you keep spouting nonsense

the rookie payscale gives 4m to 7th round players over four years.

look at rookie payscale in 2025:

now look at what highest paid udfas are making:

https://www.spotrac.com/nfl/undrafted/_/year/2025

aside from isiah bond, no UDFA got a better deal than a 7th round pick, let alone 5th round picks

the four years vs three year shyt doesnt matter in the slightest if you actually dont perform. which overwhelming majority of the late rounders AND UDFAs dont.


the fact that *some* agents and clients prefer that they go undrafted over being 7th round picks, doesnt mean they TELL teams to not draft them in later rounds all the time
which is what YOU claimed

I asked you a very very simple question. If players tell teams to not draft them "all the time", why dont you name some of these players. Ten names will suffice. Surely its easy to name them I will wait

 

[holidayinn21]

So he turned down being a backup for Lamar on a better team, to become a backup to Bailey Zappe in Cleveland, and his cult thinks that was a smart decision?

Man, Deion is getting exactly what he deserves for how he's handled this whole thing

 

[mozichrome]

whatever happened to healthy discussion. last 2 pages turning into folks just being called "dumb c00ns" and stuff. thats the overly militant talk that make me look at a person sideways.

Very few. Even a late 7th rounder will get nearly 4 million in total salary if they can survive the contract. UFDA means you're getting at the max 200k to show up to training camp and you have no guarantee you're making the roster; more than likely you're going to be offered 30k-100k. Is it possible that a player may feel an UFDA offer is better than being drafted in the late 7th round for some reasons? I guess. Maybe he had more chemistry with the coaching staff offering the UFDA position, VS being drafted somewhere you know it'll be hard to make the team. Like say you're a running back and the Lions want you as a UFDA. You know the top 2 spots are 100% taken (Gibbs, Montgomery). You know they have an established #3, and drafted a #4 a couple years ago. Do you go there, or go somewhere with less certainty at that position?

And there's the infamous coli “double down on dumb” once their incompetent babble has been thoroughly shytted on with reality

I just told your stupid ass that those late round contracts aren't guaranteed therefore making it essentially monopoly money and making a roster >>>> just getting drafted

This dumb c00n replies to that by posting the rookie scale lmao...yet...

Just completely brain rotted mental illness LMAO..

aside from isiah bond, no UDFA got a better deal than a 7th round pick, let alone 5th round picks

I LOVE laughing at you stupid ass nikkas bathing in your own ignorance.…. The shyt be so funny reading it on here

the four years vs three year shyt doesnt matter in the slightest if you actually dont perform. which overwhelming majority of the late rounders AND UDFAs dont.

The overwhelming majority of all draft picks don't perform dummy which is why you'll see late round guys TRY to put themselves in places where they feel they'd have the best chance to do just that ...the fukk are you even talking about

Dumb nikka said “who cares about getting to your second more lucrative contract faster”

LMAO just a comically ignorant ass muthafukka right here

the fact that *some* agents and clients prefer that they go undrafted over being 7th round picks, doesnt mean they TELL teams to not draft them in later rounds all the time
which is what YOU claimed I asked you a very very simple question. If players tell teams to not draft them "all the time", why dont you name some of these players. Ten names will suffice. Surely its easy to name them I will wait

This dumb nikka just got an entire article excuse me two articles explaining directly from agents executives and players on why they tell teams to a let them hit UDFA and the only reply his slow ass can conjure up is “nuh uhhhh”


Perfect summation of your stereotypical Coli Buffoon LMAO

Shedeur stans logic would make more sense if it didn't involve the Browns.

They've had 39 different starting QB's since Tim Couch was their QB, what faith do you actually have that Shedeur's tenure will turn out any different?

 

[Left.A1]

“Him gave up being a back up to be a back up, why him did dat”

This shyt be straight comedy central on these threads

 

[Ozymandeas]

These nikkas still talking like Shaduer was supposed to make a decision based on the assumption Lamar would get hurt.

You know how Coli nikkas are. Everybody can see the future on here. I wouldn't want to play behind Jalen Hurts and Lamar Jackson either. The Browns made alot more sense. If you're Shedeur, you see a 5"10 midget you think you can beat and a 40-year-old man that won't play forever. Shedeur just didn't calculate that Cleveland would try to sabotage him and refuse to give him any chances. I still think Shedeur ends up succeeding though. Eventually, he will get on the field, and teams will be calling for him.

Are you actually going to make a real rebuttal or just juelze and dodge the fact that dude is destined to fail before he even steps on the field for them?
