Kansas Wildcats QB Avery Johnson Rejects Dallas Cowboys Contract, Commits to Wildcats for Two More Seasons
Kansas Wildcats football star Avery Johnson has made a stunning decision that has sent shockwaves through both college football and the NFL. The highly touted quarterback, who led Kansas to a standout season and garnered significant attention from professional scouts, has turned down an offer from the Dallas Cowboys. Johnson, who had been widely expected to enter the NFL draft following his breakout year, will instead remain with the Wildcats for at least one or two more seasons.
The Cowboys reportedly extended a contract offer to Johnson, who had already established himself as one of the most dynamic and promising quarterbacks in college football. His decision to stay in Kansas for the foreseeable future comes as a surprise to many, considering the temptation of playing in the NFL and the financial security that such a move would provide. However, sources close to Johnson indicate that he is committed to continuing his development and leading Kansas to further success.
In a statement, Johnson expressed his excitement for the future at Kansas, saying, “I’m incredibly thankful for the opportunities the Cowboys presented me, but I believe there’s more for me to achieve here at Kansas. I’ve got unfinished business with my teammates and coaches, and I’m focused on bringing our program to new heights.”
Johnson’s decision is also seen as a move to refine his game before making the leap to the professional level. Experts have noted his strong leadership skills, impressive arm strength, and poise under pressure, but his ability to develop his skills further in college could elevate his potential in the NFL.
Kansas fans are ecstatic about the news, with hopes high for another successful season under Johnson’s leadership. The Wildcats, bolstered by Johnson’s commitment, will likely be one of the most competitive teams in the Big 12 for the next few years.
