correct me if i mis quote, but isnt that more than he would get from a mid round draft pick?
Brock Purdy made $985,000 this season.

Hes a late round pick on a rookie contract, though, correct? Last pick in the draft? Tommy Mellot could squeak into the 7th round.

Predictions for Purdy are for a $300m+ contract this offseason.

But right now Gronowski is a zero round from FCS and will make more .

Apparently winning a National Championship doesn't guarantee player loyalty, as many have said. Ohio State evidently lost many to the portal already. Seeking bigger payoffs than a trophy.

I'm not sure how a player gets a better payday than playing for Ohio State.

Edit: Looks like they are all backups. Likely transferring to get playing time, not for money. (Although playing time may equal money)
