Naaa Lindy can build his legacy with another year or two at Iowa and still make 8-9 figures in the NFL.
Tyler Linderbaum Appreciation Thread. Thank you! Go Get Paid. Looking at 4 Year, $13.24M Deal, including a $6.8M Signing Bonus
- Thread starter Franisdaman
- Start date
Green Bay would be his dream spot, but AR might be moving on to Pitt. Tyler was a lot of fun watching grow up, play ball with my kid, and just a great person. Best of luck to you Ty, Solon is so proud of you.
his decision should be coming shortly....
Well sure, since he has to declare by the 17th.......
@EvilMonkeyInTheCloset , which of the following do you think Tyler chooses?
1) Declares for the draft and becomes an instant millionaire.
2) Returns to help Iowa win the National Championship?

I wont be shocked either way but am hearing from a few close to the situation, and they all say he is staying.
Okay, before I get too excited and move the odds of Tyler returning to Iowa from none to…whatever, please tell me your few sources “close to the situation” aren’t a “My best friend's sister's boyfriend's brother's girlfriend heard from this guy who knows this kid who's going with the girl who saw Ferris pass out at 31 Flavors last night” type inside info.
Thanks. 😁
I find it REALLY hard to believe that he's made up his mind already, and yet hasn't announced he's coming back. I mean I can see if he's not sure what he wants that he's still on the fence, but if he was coming back for sure, He'd already have announced that. Why would he wait if he was sure? I'd say 95% that he's headed to the draft at this point......
You underestimate the showmanship of dramatic effect.
Two decisions.@EvilMonkeyInTheCloset , which of the following do you think Tyler chooses?
1) Declares for the draft and becomes an instant millionaire.
2) Returns to help Iowa win the National Championship?
Linderbaum returning so Iowa can win a national championship.........
...and Iowa stealing one of the top team's QBs so we can actually have someone that looks like a modern day QB at that position............so Iowa can win a national championship.
TL is NOT a "drama" guy. He's the farthest thing from it.
I wouldn't read much into things one way or the other. Seems each guy is making a decision that is best for them.
- Belton - played a lot the last 2 years, versatility playing safety and slot. Seems maybe mid-round pick, another year is probably not going to impact him. Is from Florida, so didn't grow up being an Iowa fan or having an emotional attachment to team.
- Goodson - played a lot over 3 years, came to Iowa from a long ways away. Healthy now, which is not a given for RB's. Seems to be late round-pick/UFDA, which probably doesn't improve in 1 year unless he magically drops his 40 time by .25.
- LaPorta - had seen him from 4-6 rounds. Been here 3 years. Could move up marginally with another year if overall passing game is better.
- Moss - grew up in Iowa so some affinity to program. Injury so NFL teams would need to believe he can be 100% healthy next year. If he can stay injury-free in 2022 that would be the biggest help to him.
- Campbell - 3 years, played a lot in 2nd year, started every game this year. Would all depend on how fast he runs at the combine. Great size, good instincts. Likely really likes being at Iowa. My opinion only, was a bit below his standard against Michigan and Kentucky. Great future.
- Jones - hasn't had huge amount of receiving reps. Is likely not a draft pick no matter what. Gets a shot at being a bigger factor receiving and of course on special teams. Not from Iowa, but started career at Buffalo. Wants another shot at playing in Big 10.
I'm reading that only 1 center since the merger in '70 has been drafted in the top ten. If true I'm guessing mid first might be the ceiling, using a first rounder on a center isn't that conmon
They just said on 1460 that TL is coming back based upon Dolph saying something to that effect last night on the Iowa bball broadcast. Take it for what it’s worth. Not a hill of beans.
So much for that.
Between $8.3M and $20.1M, guaranteed, is hard to pass up.
The #10 pick in last year's draft was WR DeVonta Smith, Philadelphia Eagles. DeVonta Smith signed a 4 year, $20,141,390 contract with the Philadelphia Eagles, including a $12,008,284 signing bonus, $20,141,390 guaranteed.
The last pick in the 1st Round (the #32 pick) in last year's draft was DE Joe Tryon, Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Joe Tryon signed a 4 year, $11,171,237 contract with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, including a $5,484,536 signing bonus, $8,327,887 guaranteed.

Did something happen/did he have a poor performance somewhere (maybe his index finger measured a Centimeter too small?)?
I was surprised to see him not listed in the first round of a mock draft I was reading, so I found a brand new one from a different source (NFL network) and it didn’t have him listed as a projected first rounder either.

Standard draft boards, under 300#’s, no combine/pro day, center is not a high value position. Someone will get a steal.
Individual pro day he measured in over 300#'s I am sure those 10 extra #'s will move him up. The NFL is funny on some of these things. The guy can play.
