Not sure how an NIL deal could influence turning down 55Mil guaranteed for a No.2 selection (as projected).Dante Moore Addresses $55 Million NFL Draft Decision And Oregon NILI do wonder if somewhere there is an insurance policy for a few (?) mil in case of injury.
February 9Feb 9 Moderator No. Good for him. Sometimes, with some people, money isn't the only thing that matters. It's easy these days to be cynical about everything in college football, but I believe him, too.
February 9Feb 9 Moderator No. He also knows that his skill level is not NFL level under pressure. Watching the Super Bowl is a reminder that a top level defense forces QBs to get the ball out in about 2 seconds just to survive. Then you actually need to complete the pass to guys wearing the same uniform.
February 10Feb 10 No. I think he is a wise man who has received wise counsel from his support group. I think he is more likely to fulfill his goals this way. Also a nice role model alternative for the NIL era
February 10Feb 10 No. I think Dante Moore would have out performed either of the 2 QBs in the super bowl this year. To me the game was awful.
February 10Feb 10 No. That's putting it gently...A healthy Bo would, could, shoulda... Edited February 10Feb 10 by woundedknees

February 10Feb 10 No. It makes sense to me. Everyone in media saying this would never happen in the pre-NIL days completely ignoring it did happen many times in the pre-NIL days (Manning(s), Luck, Herbert, Mariota, Leinhart off the top of my head)

Those aren't terribly new. I know in 2014 Ifo had an insurance policy if he was injured and as a result fell out of the first three rounds. He did and got a few mil for it. Not ideal because it doesn't always make up for the money lost on not getting long term NFL contracts but that's still enough money to set themselves up. So yes... Moore has an insurance policy and has probably had one in place for a couple years.
