2023-11-30
Avast ye, scurvy dogs! Cap'n Matt Rhule o' the Nebraska Cornhuskers be blabberin' to the press, claimin' a "fine quarterback" from the transfer portal be worth a fortune o' one to two million doubloons! Arrr, that be quite the hefty bounty, methinks!
In the language of a 17th-century pirate, me mateys, I bring ye news of Matt Rhule's return to the treacherous seas of college football. But beware, me hearties, for things have changed since he last set sail for the NFL back in 2019.The tides have shifted with the advent of Name, Image, and Likeness (NIL) and the transfer portal, me buckos. Players now have the freedom to find a new ship to call home after the season ends. And just in the past few days, several quarterbacks have reportedly entered the portal, seeking a new crew to sail with.
But fear not, landlubbers, for Rhule knows the value of a good quartermaster. When asked about delving into the transfer portal for a quarterback, he warned that the cost be high, me hearties. A fine captain worth their weight in doubloons could command a million to $1.5 million, or even $2 million!
Rhule be no scallywag, though. He be lookin' for a certain breed of sailor to join his crew. They must be impact players, capable of leading the ship to victory. Or they must have multiple years to develop and become worthy of the captain's trust.
But fear not, me mateys, for Rhule be proud of his current crew as well. Young Heinrich Haarberg be the top gun in passing yards, while Chubba Purdy and Jeff Sims be showin' promise as well. Rhule believes in their potential, and he wonders if giving Chubba more playin' time would have set him on the path to greatness.
So, me hearties, Nebraska be lookin' to improve after a 5-7 season under Rhule's watchful eye. Missing out on a bowl game be a bitter pill to swallow, but fear not, for there be hope for the future. The seas of college football be treacherous, but with Rhule at the helm, the Cornhuskers may yet find their way to glory.
