Problem is if McKinley does live up, will we pay to keep him? How much is too much for us? Our inability to buy Wingo out of the draft is looking more telling. How out of touch/stubborn are we?

If they offered Wingo 500k, then that should be enough to stay.

He played hard but wasn't elite. Had some injuries too.

How many contributors have left LSU in the portal? Heard this season, although that seemed to be of a playing time issue and the corner that went to Bama are the only 2 I can think of. Keeping players has not been an issue at all. Hell keeping Nuss alone was a hell of an accomplishment

The guy that got so frustrated with Matt House that he was telling teammates he was done with this shite immediately after the bowl game? Definitely was not a money issue there.

Considering Kelly addressed the biggest problems on last years team by completely cleaning house on the defensive side of the ball, I’d say not stubborn at all. Getting a generational talent at qb to commit shows they can spend money with anyone. You can argue they should be open to spending on 1 year mercenaries but that’s a whole different argument.

There are always juniors that are just ready to go. This means nothing.

He’s gonna get 750k if he makes a roster which I’m sure he’s confident he can do.
