kC Cougar

Except all portaleers might expect exorbitant amounts, too.

But we'd likely be going after kids who'd fetch far less than Jax.

That could be a problem. Thanx.

SinkingQuffa

Paying Jax a million feels to me like the Utes overpaying Rising.

runnincoug

Does it, though? Is this more pulling from a team bank, or more boosters stepping up to get specific players?

If it gets you a competitive roster — you might want to consider it.

Overall, I think he's arguably better than every one of those guys.
