Jb is slotted at 37mil as the first pick.. Tua at 5 is at 30mil.. The only negotiation would be guaranteed money.. That is probably set in stone too .. Or close... Link to post Share on other sites

About the only thing negotiable is when he gets the signing bonus money paid which was what held up Joey Bosa from signing with San Diego. Link to post Share on other sites

The first game I saw at PBS he started against the Dolphins. He played well and we were up by 10 going into half until the final play. Smith got strip sacked by Jason Taylor and Taylor took the ball into the end zone with no time on the clock. It was the last time I ever saw Smith look even close to an NFL quality QB. 2nd half was horrific. Link to post Share on other sites
spicoli 816 Posted May 17, 2020 Report Share Posted May 17, 2020 Jesus, Akili should have NEVER have been drafted in the first rd, period. There were SOOOO many red flags that they just flat out ignored. They got what they deserved in the end....fuck em. Link to post Share on other sites

Not sure if it was the first game but he did beat Cleveland and went ape shit with an exaggerated throat slash celebration giving further proof of what a class individual he was. I think that particular gesture was then outlawed by the NFL, Akillus' only major contribution to professional football. Link to post Share on other sites
