'24 IN S Tae Johnson (Notre Dame Signee)

[rtrn2glory]

The NBC pre game crew has got to be the worst in the history of broadcast television

 

[Junkhead]

To my knowledge they keep spares attached to the facemask but usually wear a loose one.

That makes sense, thanks.

 

[NDBoiler]

Do players usually wear a sling for a broken hand? Seems to imply a more severe injury

 

[NDPhilly]

Don’t love the secrecy here, but that’s par for the course with ND injuries.

 

[Junkhead]

I wondered the same thing. Maybe it's got a cast and it's easier to hold the weight.

 

[Jimmy3Putt]

it’s to keep it immobilized.
Precaution.

No, people don’t normally wear slings for broken hands. Looks like he has a cast or splint. He may be trying to keep they swelling down by elevating it. It’s already immobilized with a cast or splint.

 

[stlnd01]

Some serious bling, along with that sling.

 

[NDPhilly]

Some good injury news

 

[BleedBlueGold]

I don't know their medical policy or Freeman’s policy on injury news, but since MF already made the comment above, it basically goes along with what I was told prior to this news even breaking…out for Cuse, doctor would likely let him play against Stanford but won’t be needed. Will be cleared for the playoffs barring setback. May still be in a cast or at least padding wrap to protect the hand.

 

[NDFAN2008]

Sounds like his injury was to hold out for precaution

 

[Irishdwarte]

And so Jalen Stroman could dominate the Fighting Tirico’s.

 

[ulukinatme]

Some good injury news

 

[Me2SouthBend]

A hand sling?

Why not. KVA needs a boot for his knee injury per IE.

 

[Dale]

Doesn’t sound like a deal is done quite yet per O’Malley as he’s expecting due a raise.

TIFWIW A poster said he just spoke to Tae and he’s coming back.

They’re in a tough position because IMO he should be the second highest paid defender behind Moore, but his 2025 salary had to have been peanuts and I know Shuler is on a big deal.

 

[rtrn2glory]

2026 needs to be an all in year..... Money cannot be in issue for anybody. 2024 Ohio St vibes. Give them the money and then it's up to the boosters or whomever to find it

You almost have to question if these guys love playing the sport.

I can’t imagine being an auction item every year. JMO

Giants new coach?

You forego a salary?

 

[arrowryan]

Retaining someone like Tae should be non negotiable. Just get it done.

I enjoy what I do. Almost as much as I enjoy being paid to do it. Not gonna fault these guys for capitalizing on their skill set like we all do.

 

[irishff1014]

I get there is money involved like never before. Or shall I say legally. But if you are doing it for the highest pay check available you will never be satisfied. Some less then you will get more than you in a desperate reach.

If you are doing it for money first, you are doing it for the wrong reason. Again my opinion.

 

[RudyVerse]

I don’t blame the players but these 1 year deals is really ruining the sport. Somehow need to get smart about locking up multi year commitments or there are buy outs or something.

Where has anybody said Tae is looking for the most money? He was woefully underpaid last season. Maybe he just wants to be fairly compensated and the negotiations are working towards that…

There’s no such thing as fairly compensated in college football for players.

You need to start a minor league football league. That’s where the stars of high school football go.

Then for all the others you can have true college football for them to develop and become potential NFL guys.

This still won’t fix the system. It’s just like the MLB, no one is going to give a minor leaguer 4 or 5 million dollar deals.

Buckle up

Buckle up

Go away

I'm not riding with you.
