Breaking Chief Borders enters portal

[Carm]

 

[Dr.DrakeRamoray]

Odd one

 

[Scarlet ObsessioN]

Interesting one. Feels like a position with depth though.

 

[Baron Winnebago]

How will we ever make up the 3 solo tackles?

 

[SOHusker11]

Hey Chief, gfy. Phony bitch.

 

[Lionsfan93]

Not one that I would have picked, but we have to make room some how. Good luck to him.

A bit of a surprise. By all accounts he had a great spring. Although I'll admit I expected him to shine more in the spring game with those reports. But definitely not a back breaker.

He did get run over by EJ for his memorable moment in the Spring Game...

Is it really a “major” hit to lose a guy who hasn’t really contributed much at a deep position?

 

[Frogsker30]

I liked chief solely because he seemed to bring a positive energy and vibe to the team

If Dean ever says "this is a big hit" I immediately do NOT worry about that loss.

Dean gotta drive clicks somehow. Chief is either like the 4th string olb or a 3rd string DE. He'd get snaps but the dudes in front of him are just better

 

[Huskers633]

If he was really that improved and up for serious playing time he wouldn't be leaving. Lol at Dean trying to get clicks, "major hit."

Here's what was told to me a few days ago by a cousin of mine who has donated big money to NIL:

Nash, T-Rob, and Jimari Butler have all cashed in with the top defensive NIL on the team. Non-Starters like Chief Borders are pissed off because he thinks he should be pulling in the same type of money despite being a marginal back up. Chief allegedly improved his game this Spring but has been demanding more money solely based on improved effort in Spring Practice. Rhule and staff tried to advise him to be patient, but his family is demanding more money.

He was earning 6 figures, but nowhere close to the dollar amounts of the impact players and the defensive starters. So he's leaving.

Nebraska will be fine. Chief Borders won't command anything more than what he's earning now.

Ahhh the proverbial “Spring Star” entering the portal. Really showed out in his time here.

6 figures for a backup???

So…in other words…he’s delusional

6 figures for a backup???

There are lots of back ups earning 6 figures at Nebraska. The only difference between Nebraska and the big time NIL players like USC, Oregon, Ohio State, Tennessee, Bama, Georgia, Penn State, Texas, A&M, and Notre Dame is the amount of money they are paying the elite difference makers. But, Nebraska is doing a good job of balancing out the NIL. Newcomers, Freshmen, and back ups are getting paid pretty evenly.

Here's an example:

Fidone will get paid between a 400 and 500k package next season. That's good money. But the aforementioned schools above would all be willing to double that amount at the minimum.

On the flipside, a player like Chief Borders earning 120K in NIL at Nebraska is higher than what a 4th year non contributor would add at Bama or Ohio State. Hell, they would run him off.

Don't be surprised to see Borders end up at a G5 program or if he goes to another Power 5. And don't be surprised to see him in the portal again.
