In all seriousness, is Penix really going to bolt before the bowl game? And who would take his place?
If he is considering leaving and we get in a top bowl game with a juicy high visibility opponent which guarantees eyeballs then I’m thinking he would play to elevate his draft status.. in fact i would think that he would think that either way.
If he is leaving and we are awarded the cheesit bowl against bumfuck state then he might decide to pass along with others… who wouldn’t?
Heard from a reliable source Pennix is seriously considering coming back for the right price. The thought is if he balls out again he’a first round obviously it’s 7 figures. Question 1? How much do you think he needs?
Question 2: Can UW come up with the $$ to get it done?
Question 3: is he worth it? (I’m free market & believe all players should get paid & are worth whatever the market demands)
1) 200k
2) Can they? Yes. Will they? Hopefully
3) Yes
Look up what rookies come in at for salary by round. UW would need to come up with at least 2.5 mil, IMO. And that's assuming he gets a day 3 grade due to medicals.

Look up what 1st rounders make on an initial contract versus 4th rounders

It's a gamble, but one that could pay off big
Totally agree that it's far from a done deal that he leaves. I just think it takes a lot more than $200k to keep him around.
A fourth round pick makes between 650K and 850K his first year. Come up with 750 and let's roll next year. I'm with Race. Pay the known commodities. Penix is that and some.

fair. maybe 500k?
I really doubt UW goes 7 figures as much as Penix would deserve it.
the thing is, Penix isn't really going to go into a bidding war because he can't risk leaving DeBoer. Not like he would take 2 mil to go to aTm or something equally nuts
From what I've seen it's a bad assumption that medicals are going to hurt him that much in the draft. He's not a slight, frail looking guy at all and he's shown quickness, escape ability and open field speed. He's not hobbling around out there.
If his knee is deemed stable, as it appears to be, he's not lasting past the second. Third round at the latest. He's getting looks as a first round possibility. I've seen it on the webs. He's gone.

He already has an NIL car and probably tons of other shit
If the play is to gun for a 1st round pick next year, its a decent amount
Right now he is prob 3rd or 4th round

I remember the NCAAs athletes can’t get benefits not available to regular student body phase.

And to handle the insurance:

This is Seattle, after all.
