Tanner Lee

[Show Me]

Tanner Lee signed a 4 year contract with the Jacksonville Jaguars on May 11, 2018 after being selected in the 6th round of the 2018 NFL Draft. The contract is worth $2,601,544.
He’s 24 years old and In two years he’s already collected $975,000 of that $2.6 million. He’s an NFL QB something many of the pundits said he’d never be. Once again winwave is correct.
He’s definitely making more money playing NFL QB than any poster here ever did playing pro ball and he’s not yet reached his full potential.

2018 23 $480,000

If you want it to die then let it die rather than needlessly bashing the kid again. The experts here said he needed to go to FCS to have a chance for playing time. Instead he went to Nebraska and won and kept the starting job. He then got drafted into the NFL and is still there making his living. That's something no one here has done. Best of luck to him going forward.

1. Your second to last sentence isn’t true and there are folks around here who know better.

2. Members around here said that he needed to go to the FCS if he wanted to a a good collegiate career. His poor performances Tulane and Nebraska vs FBS opponents made that point even stronger. 37 picks isn’t pretty.

3. I was responding to Eaglewave because I believe that he woke up all of you Tanner Lee believers who ignore his FBS gameday performances a blame everyone else for his INT habits.

4. Tanner Lee is who I thought he was. I have no reason to start a debate because my point was proven on the field. Lee is a good practice player. Nothing more.

1. Name the poster here who got drafted and made a living in the NFL. If people here knew it not to be true they would have jumped on it.

2.No, they said if he wanted to play he needed to go to an FCS school. Instead he won the job at a P5. The team was bad and everyone knew it was going to be their coaches last season. But you want to blame all ills on Tanner.

3. Nobody ignores the picks nor blames others. What they see is his positives. The same positives an NFL team saw and drafted him on. I know that's upsetting to you and yours but you were proven wrong.

4. See #3.

1. Ok. Believe what you want man.

2. His stats clearly show that he wasn’t FBS material. Yes, he started at Tulane and Nebraska, but so what? He didn’t perform well. I am confident that his numbers would have looked better if he would have started at SLU or McNeese. I would say Southern, but their offensive line wouldn’t have been able to put the golden gates of heaven that you and about two others around here prayed for so he he not throw INT’s all Saturday like he did at Tulane.

3. Tannner Lee was the guy I told you he was. He failed here, and failed there. Your “he won the starting job” sign means absolutely nothing since he still performed terribly. His numbers proved my point. They don’t prove yours.

4. See 3 or see another pick 6 from Tanner Lee!

So if not for Tanner CJ would still be our coach. Oh our fans would be so happy for that. Riley would also still be coaching at Nebraska. Their fans would be thrilled. Jealousy has the best of you. Deal with it. You're just wrong about dat.

Tanner, like any practice squad player, was cut by the Jaguars. Then re-signed to the practice squad. Practice squad players make $7600/week. The other figures are NFL league minimums for active players.

Believe what you want. To be named to a practice squad, a player must be cut and clear waivers. When he's cut, his contract is voided. Practice squad players are paid $7600/week. They can be paid more, but their salaries count towards the salary cap, so it's rare that they make more than that. I do not dispute that he signed a contract with those values; I don't believe he was paid what the contract called for as NFL contracts are not guaranteed. My guess is the website you're quoting didn't update every player that was cut as there's literally hundreds.

Either way, Tanner is making a nice living playing a game he loves.

My guess is you’re wrong. That’s the cap-space website that NFL people use. It has a premium subscription. You my friend are incorrect.

My guess is you’re wrong. That’s the cap-space website that NFL people use. It has a premium subscription. You my friend are incorrect.

You could be right, after all, my research is internet based as well.

But the NFL offices keep track of salary cap 365 days/year. Contracts are not valid until approved by the NFL offices for that (among many other) reason. I'm sure the NFL isn't using a website to do their work for them. IF Jacksonville paid Tanner that much money that was very nice of them. $7600/week is all 99% of practice squad players get paid. But I'll take your word and the website's word that Tanner made close to half a million dollars after getting cut last year.

Did some checking on Tanner’s $$$
Looks like that $151,600 was at the end of 2018. Didn’t include last season.
By the way Check our Patrick Ramsey and JP Losman career $$$$ they did quite well. And Ryan Griffin has made over $4 million career wise up to 2018.

That exact page says he counted $28k against the 2018 cap. Sorry that reeks he was a practice player with one actual game.
That said, I think some people need to lay off Lee. The kid has suited up for a pro game, that is an amazing accomplishment.

That's one more game than I ever suited up for. And his arm is legit. And regardless of how much he made in 2018, it was probably more than I did, and he had a whole lot more fun earning it than I did !

If you want it to die then let it die rather than needlessly bashing the kid again. The experts here said he needed to go to FCS to have a chance for playing time.

1. Ok. Believe what you want man.

2. His stats clearly show that he wasn’t FBS material. Yes, he started at Tulane and Nebraska, but so what? He didn’t perform well. I am confident that his numbers would have looked better if he would have started at SLU or McNeese. I would say Southern, but their offensive line wouldn’t have been able to put the golden gates of heaven that you and about two others around here prayed for so he he not throw INT’s all Saturday like he did at Tulane.

So if not for Tanner CJ would still be our coach. Oh our fans would be so happy for that. Riley would also still be coaching at Nebraska. Their fans would be thrilled. Jealousy has the best of you. Deal with it. You're just wrong about dat.

Nope, you are wrong by thinking this kid was and is a good QB. He was the INT machine with poor awareness great hype I promised you and the two other fans he would be. CJ and Riley might have had more success had they knew that a starter doesn’t panic and toss picks on a regular basis. It’s their fault that they are gone, but Tanner Lee still stunk up the joint under both coaches and offensive lines.


Let’s all just be thankful that he is gone and no longer throwing picks for us. We have winner for a starter now. Prayerfully, Tanner Lee will get his chance to prove me right once again.

[winwave]

You've been wrong all along . The Saints have Drew Brees, who will be first ballot Hall of Famer, and a good offensive line with weapons to boot yet went 7-9 for three straight season and 4 of 5 before the recent two seasons. Sorry it's just not all about the QB. We get that a few like you can only see one player on the field but it's a team game. CJ was unfit to ever be a HC. Riley was at the end of his career. Tanner won and kept the starting job at Nebraska not an FCS. He got drafted into the NFL and is still there. Proving you wrong yet again.

[Eaglewave]

Lee sucked as our starter. Who gives a flying F if he “won” the damn job. I am just glad that him and CJ are away from Yulman. Lee wasn’t the man for the job. We have a coach who can win, and a quarterback that gets us moving without tossing picks all day like Lee.

[winwave]

Yes it was all his fault. How long was your NFL career?

Nope. I called it when he committed. He doesn’t have what it takes Winwave. He proved it at Tulane, and Nebraska. He is a practice player, and continues to prove that fact. He is not a good QB, and you know it.

I was never a big Lee fan and have had battles with winwave on this site. But let me get this straight, you are taking the time to crap on a kid who was drafted and actually suited up for an NFL game? Seriously just let it die at a minimum. What is your hatred for him? Is this some goofy NOLA high school vendetta?
