Let the NFL disappear into the dustbin of history.
Some NFL team might go ahead and give him a small fraction of ownership in lieu of compensation. He’d have absolutely zero say in how the team is run, and his stake would be tied to whatever decisions the majority owner of the team makes. He’d be a fool to take that instead of cash that he can invest on his own.
Never heard of THAT one before.
It’s A Bold Strategy Cotton, Lets See If It Pays Off For Em
Good for him.
I’m holding out for partial ownership of any team I root for.
It’s been taking a while to work that out.
Sure beats one of those “reparations” checks for chumps, right Caleb?!
I’d trade the #1 pick for offensive linemen. Then put a water boy in at QB.
Williams has excelled against bad defenses this season but struggled against a very good one. he’s not that good. Once NFL DC’s figure him out he’ll be thrown to the trash heap like all the other overhyped ones...
Drama Queen gotta drama.
I will laugh if he goes UNDRAFTED by anybody....................
The UAW should take note. Being ignorant they can’t
Profits are owned by stockholders not the commodity hired hands
As a supporter of the college team he transferred away from in a not necessarily gracious sort of way, let one offer a small insight.
Caleb seems like an alright young man, but he has an overbearing old man pushing him in all his affairs. It seems that USC had a QB back in the 90s or so with the same problem. Can’t recall the name though.
If I was an owner, the only chance you’d get at partial ownership would be completely performance based. I would offer 1% ownership for every superbowl he wins (he has to start and complete the superbowl and get the victory) and another 1% for every 10 victories he gets the team (again he has to start and take majority of snaps in each victory).
About 12 years and 12 superbowls later, he would have a chance for about 32% of the team.
There’s NO WAY any owner would give up shares in the team for someone who hasn’t even played at the pro level.
Never heard of this arrogant guy. This is among the reasons I have no TV and watch no professional football. Outrageous egos and ridiculous amounts of money supported by taxpayers funding their sporting venues.
Hardee har har! Good luck with that, Caleb.
If Williams plays like he has against good times this year (which was pure trash against Notre Dame) then he deserves to be drafted by the Denver Broncos...
Isn’t Green Bay owned by the residents? Give him a share of the Packers as long as he lives there.
Let the NFL disappear into the dustbin of history.
Good for him. Careers are short, make sure you’re setup for the future. I mean I doubt highly he’ll get it, but aim high. Ryan Seacrest has always said the best piece of career advice he ever got was when Dick Clark told him to always get a producing credit, that’s where the permanent money is. In sports the equivalent of that is an ownership stake.
Owners like Jerry Jones in Dallas, the Hunts in KC, Irsay in Indy, or Pegula in Buffalo who made their money the hard way or are controlling a long-term family legacy - will make sure such a ridiculous thing never sees the light of day.
Only thing I saw lately from this guy was Notre Dame taking total ownership of him.
Best to keep the mouth shut and let the performance on the field leverage positioning later. He’s giving away his leverage too soon. If he doesn’t want to play for the Cardinals just wait and see who gets the #1 pick. If it falls to the Cardinals he can claim he wishes to complete his senior year without specifically naming them. Wants some ownership of the team that drafts him?
What owner will that appeal to? A team that he might want to go to just might pass him by with that upfront demand. Not very smart in my opinion which is not something desirable in an NFL QB.
Another Ryan Leaf in the making.
