Learn what insinuate means then try again my nikka :mjlol:
You’re all over the place and can’t seem to stay on topic. Nico is not operating from a place of strength. He tried to leverage Tennessee to get a raise on his NIL deal twice and was told no both times. Whether he decided to move on first after he was a no show at practice, or whether the team told him to leave first, is arguing semantics and is irrelevant. Tennessee is certainly left not in a great position now looking for another QB option. But Nico is now shopping around the nation for a top 10 team (which Tennessee was last year) that will at least match the $2 million per year he was getting at Tennessee. Good luck to him for trying to get that offer in the spring portal window when top teams are mostly set on their roster.

None of this shyt has anything to do with whether or not he left them and not the other way around which is what we were actually talking about brother….i see that you have essentially conceded that point so I understand why you're now rambling :mjlol:But to be clear.… I don't care about your armchair coli agent prognostications on “what this means” for Nico’s future….all of that shyt is based on conjecture in the first place …. We have no idea what his priorities are on his next team.… however what we do know is Tenn as a staff and program clearly were caught flat footed with handling the stability of their signar caller for this season with his departure and are now reduced to spinning PR stories to do damage control... Those are the facts... Not the fan fiction nonsense you were babbling earlier

They are not facts. One tweet said he entered the portal while Tennessee was trying to contact him. Other reports say Tennessee decided to move on after he was a no show at practice. Just because you want to believe one over the other doesn’t make it a fact. My point was that I don’t care which way it happened first. He was left knowing he didn’t have a team to go back to after he ghosted the them. Like I said, good luck getting $2 million from another top ten team if he’s operating from a position of strength like you’re trying to say.
