Britton just got drafted

[nccardfan]

Boo! No, seriously all the best for Zach!

Feel the same way. It will be interesting if he goes or not.

 

[nccardfan]

I believe he will. There’s no guarantee that if he returns he would improve his draft status and he would be another year older. He could get hurt or heck get outplayed by a incoming player or just have a bad year.

His slot value is $410,000. I think he signs.

 

[Bardman]

Oh, I imagine he will. I was merely hoping.

Now we wait and see if any players are offered free agent contracts and whether they will sign.

The positive here is they can only be offered a $20,000 max bonus. This will be where some of the seniors decide to take the money rather than come back for another year, but I wouldnt expect to lose any of the underclassmen to these deals.

Zach & $410,000. Taxes take at least 40% of this. Then Zach would roam around in these farm teams making $6000 a year for how long?

I have a hard time understanding the field of dreams for some of these young men. But I didn't grow up on a baseball diamond(softball diamond yes).

 

[nccardfan]

Well, Oriente and Lavey signed free agent contracts. Their road is even tougher than Britton’s.

That was pretty much their best choice. For Zach - getting drafted in round 5 is pretty nice. Plus, he has his degree. I think you gotta run with it and go pro.
