Ball family of the NFL? I’d like to know more 

Super interesting take, great theory but banking on health and play is a hugeeeee risk

 

No more than any rookie really.

 

And as a UDFA, there's nothing stopping him from signing an equivalent of a 1st round pick contract. Or more.

 

If it was open bidding with the Vikings, Patriots, Titans, and Commanders, he could probably do pretty well.

 

I dont think it will happen. Nor do I think he's serious about the ownership thing, if that's even true. But I do like the player/ownership talk. Good for the players.

But that would never happen, I thought that for a minute and realized it would never work, someone would still take a shot at him in the 7th if nothing else, then what he holds out for a year goes back to the draft and see how much that raised his stock?

 

Oh I agree. It's 11pm, I'm high. This is what you get.

 

edit: To the bold, I think if he was "serious" about getting part ownership, once he got out of the top 3 he'd drop the demand and go to any team that isnt Chicago or Arizona.

While I do not see this effort being successful against the juggernaut of NFL owners I do like the fact that there are still those out there that question “what if” and follow through when they believe strongly enough that status quo isn’t necessarily good enough.   
 

 

Cartoonish naivete 

 

Yes, noble and principled Caleb Williams is truly sticking his neck out to make a stand

I’m so glad everyone in this thread isn’t jumping to conclusions so incredibly fast without actually knowing if it’s true or not!!!

 

Haters gonna hate even if the report is true. I'm all for players asking for as much of the pie as they can get. The league is nothing without them.

[MJS]

Someone has been filling his head with nonsense.

 

I don't know anything about him besides this. I'm already looking forward to rooting against him.

Well, he's not the first to ask this. Aaron asked this from the Jets. The Jets didn't say no. The NFL League Office did.

So basically, whoever was the 1st in the media to write this garbage didn't know what they were talking about.

Herbert is Josh Allen light 

 

Going back to Oregon he never had the killer instinct

 

They are not the same guy... 

 

They might be the same height and weight or close to it... But there arm strength , athleticism, and will the win do not come through the same on the football field

 

Caleb might be shorter at 6'2 ish.. But he's thick...A cannon, can extend the play inside or outside the pocket ... Throws on the run and is an A+ creator

 

Allen and mahomes are all pros who are A+ at creating... Crafty with big arms... Can move inside or outside the pocket and throw on run 

 

 

 

 

 

Sherbert is thicccc On top of that he literally has all the attributes you mention Caleb has.

I mean it’s not really that outrageous of a demand. People do it all the time with their publicly traded companies in the form of stock options and RSUs. Wanting say 0.5% of a company for a QB seems reasonable.

Looking at all the replies in here from folks that were so excited to hate on this kid...

[sven233]

There's no way this happens because it would lead to circumventing the cap.  For example, say Allen needs a new contract in a couple years.  If this was allowed, why wouldn't the Bills just say we will pay you a base salary of 100k and then give you x% of ownership in the team for a certain amount of years.  There is no way to calculate what that would be worth and you are not going to allow a team to have a 20k cap hit for example for a star player.  There is 0% chance this happens.

Easy bro.   Didn’t say anything about it being reasonable and certainly didn’t say anything about this individual specifically….so who exactly is naive?

 

Simply said that those who ask questions get answers and those who feel things could be better should pursue.

Thats why we said its reported, not confirmed? 

I'm reporting that the Bills got special dispensation to have their salary cap $100 million higher than any other team.  I haven't confirmed it yet, but that what I'm reporting.  

[BADOLBILZ]

 

Obviously not going to happen.

 

But if he could just find some way to avoid being drafted by one of those inept organizations that tend to finish near the top of the draft everywhere and instead got picked by a playoff team the way Rodgers, Mahomes and Allen did..........

[Franco_92]

Ahaha that came from Dov Kleiman? Genuinely the worst twitter account I've ever seen, blocked him ages ago.

So while technically it was said it was around the same time that Rodgers said it, and the NFL already shot it down, so it's not really a thing anymore anyway. Yeah Kleiman is an #######.
