His stock has to be next to zero after this past horrible season. But I’m not too surprised. He just didn’t seem interested this year. I watched him on key plays when the defense would get a turnover or a sack and he never celebrated with is teammates. It was like he was just going through the motions. I think this is more about wanting a fresh start than the money. He might be hoping to go in the later rounds so he can get a one year contract. Make an impression and then negotiate for that big deal in a year or two. By that plan he’ll still be a millionaire by the time he’s 25.

albeit under my breath – i just swore out loud at work.

the one shoe wonder is gone.

loves to tell these kids that they will be a first rounder or 2nd rounder and then watch them fall down the draft boards. teams love this because they can get a great player on the cheap once they fall out of the first round.

Dumb move on his part, but money talks. he has the talent to go pro, he just needed more time to develop/mature.

He was pretty upset with how he was treated here so I am not surprised.

says thank you.

The way he sandbagged it this season, I’ll actually be somewhat glad when he goes. If he really was playing at 70% because he felt poorly treated, he can go ahead and pack up his stuff. PSU is a good program; it doesn’t need players with attitudes like that. If he felt mistreated and angry, he should’ve sacked up and played hard. Nothing changes someone’s opinion of you like performing well.

The writing is on the wall: LJ is leaving. His kids are going to take this opportunity to leave at the same time because they don’t want to play for someone new. They also don’t want to risk being caught up in the State College judicial system which is trying to make headlines instead of justice.

A little purging might be good for our program at this point.

“PULL THAT SHIRT DOWN WARE!!!!”.
 
I laugh outloud everytime I watch him dress down that lineman on the youtube video.

that his worst-case scenario is to get hurt next season and never play football again, then get a job selling cars or insurance making $50-$80K a year.

Even if he gets drafted in the fifth round and makes $150K for 1 year, he is still coming out way ahead in salary and in contacts. It’s sort of like a game show. You want to wait for the big prize and risk losing it all, or you want to take what you’ve earned and go home?

I think the extra year makes sense for QBs but pretty much nobody else, and I am an ever-declining fan of the pro game.

The fifth round & $400,000 called. It’s waiting for you!

Hope you don’t spend it all on bling & cars. Needs to last the rest of your life, dude.

not by Mo’s choice but by how many people here are responding. It’s his choice first off. He has had trouble but smokin pot in college, well guilty as charged. If has dogging it, good he is gone now. You can always come back and get your degree, you can’t always go to the NFL. Even if he is drafted in the later rounds, again its his choice and he will live with it. The only reason why a PSU fan is mad about him or Mayhem leaing is because it may limit how good PSU is next season, which is selfish. I am in college right now and if someone offered me $200,000 to leave, I sure as shit would because I know money isn’t easy to come by. Blah Blah, I ramble too much, wish both of them the best of luck, rep PSU hard in the NFL.
