Caleb Williams reportedly had a big ask from teams while coming into the NFL draft.
Williams, who many believe is the consensus #1 pick in the 2024 draft, reportedly asked for a partial ownership stake in a team.
According to Pro Football Talk’s Mike Florio, Williams’ representatives floated the idea to teams before he officially declares for the 2024 draft.
Per multiple sources, the representatives of USC quarterback Caleb Williams had been making it known to prospective agents that Williams wants partial ownership of the team that selects him in 2024, if he declares for the draft.
Apparently Williams isn’t the only player asking for an ownership stake from a team. Florio goes on to report that Aaron Rodgers asked for an ownership stake in the NY Jets.
Likewise, a league source tells PFT that Jets quarterback Aaron Rodgers attempted to secure equity in his contract discussions with the Jets.
The NFL has since closed the door on potential ownership stakes from players in a memo sent out to owners/teams.
