Per Shama:
How Lindsey performed was even more admirable given how lacking the support around him often was. His receivers struggled for separation on their routes and dropped too many passes. The offensive line’s work was spotty at best. The running game was among the Big Ten’s worst and didn’t provide much complementary threat to the passing offense.
Now head coach P.J. Fleck and offensive coordinator Greg Harbaugh Jr. have to retain Lindsey who could choose to play three more seasons in Minneapolis. With revenue share money, Lindsey will be a million-dollar quarterback next year—either at Minnesota or elsewhere.
With about a $14.5 million budget to pay players, the Gophers might offer Lindsey $1.5 million. In addition, six-figures in NIL money is a given. Rival college programs have the resources to offer more total compensation and are more than aware of the talented 6-foot-5, 230-pound passer and leader.
But it seems likely Lindsey will stay with his team. He comes from a family with money so it’s not like he needs to support mom, dad and siblings. The Arkansas native’s relationship is also strong with Fleck and Harbaugh. The three formed a bond during Lindsey’s high school days when the hometown Razorbacks didn’t aggressively pursue him.
Go Gophers!!
