Arion Carter is Staying at UT

[Oldvoldad]

You think the new system only involves.m one LB?

Carter / Campbell / Perlotte in this system. Perlotte has the speed to play the Knowles hybrid spot.

 

[Mccage]

Maybe Jim Knowles can teach him how to play LB.

Tell us how you play LBer..

 

[K-town Vol Fan]

Or we have a couple million we saved when Leavitt turned us down

That may be the case, but I really hope the staff didn't throw that kind of money at someone who decided he didn't want to be here anymore and then came crawling back.

 

[VAWL FAN]

Telander will be on the bench

Let's hope so.

 

[K-town Vol Fan]

Maybe Jim Knowles can teach him how to play LB.

He led the SEC in tackles per game.

 

[cgrish]

I think i saw about 20 posts of him not being a VFL and good riddance… wonder what the sentiment is now.

Go vols

imo he came back only for more money

 

[Vol49er]

That may be the case, but I really hope the staff didn't throw that kind of money at someone who decided he didn't want to be here anymore and then came crawling back.

We’re just going to have to move past this mind set. 99% of the motive for 99% of the players is money. Before that manifested in what school they could get to the NFL with, now it’s NIL. If we don’t take players who are looking for money only it’ll be you and I out there on Saturdays

 

[lukeneyland]

Please go share your negativity and apparently your vast football knowledge with your family. I’m sure they’ve learned to tune you out by now. We haven’t yet.

Carter is a great player. Man was half crippled and still lighting people up. Glad he’s back

 

[GordonC]

imo he came back only for more money

how much money was it?
tell us

 

[lukeneyland]

imo he came back only for more money

He deserves every bit of it. I hope we make him rich

 

[vols40]

Maybe Jim Knowles can teach him how to play LB.

Maybe you and those like you can stop b...hing and complaining now.

 

[C-south]

I think i saw about 20 posts of him not being a VFL and good riddance… wonder what the sentiment is now.

Go vols

Nobody wanted to pay him what he thought he was worth.

 

[vols40]

That may be the case, but I really hope the staff didn't throw that kind of money at someone who decided he didn't want to be here anymore and then came crawling back.

Booooooooo!!!!

 

[Vol8188]

That may be the case, but I really hope the staff didn't throw that kind of money at someone who decided he didn't want to be here anymore and then came crawling back.

Why not? Why wouldn’t we give them what they were making previously?

Did he become worse when he tried to leave?

 

[SDV]

We just need a Trent Dilfer type QB year. Our defense is gonna be nasty

 

[brockytop]

Telander will be on the bench

That will be one beautiful sight to behold.

No offense to the guy because I’m sure he‘s a hard worker and does his best, but Telandef simply isn’t a SEC caliber player, especially as a starter.

 

[ENGRVOL]

So deep now at linebacker.

You got Carter, Campbell, Perlotte.

Then you got Spillman, Telander, Harmon.

Then you got Burns, Rouse, White.

Not to mention Bolton.

Think most sec teams would love to have our 2nd or 3rd string lb players.

 

[K-town Vol Fan]

Why not? Why wouldn’t we give them what they were making previously?

Did he become worse when he tried to leave?

Because actions should have consequences

 

[Big Orange Captain]

Great news!! Our defense gonna be lit next season

 

[Woodlawn VOL]

Big Orange Boom! Welcome Back Arion!!!

 

[IUGradVol]

BOOOM!! Again…one or two veteran DT’s and we should have an improved defense next season. GBO!

 

[Oldvoldad]

imo he came back only for more money

imo he came back when he realized he got bad advice on his draft stock.

 

[WaywardVol]

Get them toes healed up!

 

[Vol8188]

Because actions should have consequences

So we should risk missing out on a player who could help our team so you can feel like a 20 something was adequately punished for their poor decision?

 

[SayUWantAreVOLution]

Why not? Why wouldn’t we give them what they were making previously?

Did he become worse when he tried to leave?

He lost leverage in a business transaction by not making the right decisions so that means the other party, in this case UT, is able to control the deal.

We've seen guys, wasn't it Rickey Gibson?, leverage the fact that someone got hurt to renegotiate his deal with UT.

This time it fell UT's way and that's just how business works.
