Ty Simpson Reportedly Getting NIL Contract Offers After NFL Draft Decision, New Rumors on Alabama QB

Ty Simpson has declared for the 2026 NFL Draft, but that hasn't curbed college football programs from trying to get the Alabama quarterback on their roster.

According to AL.com's Nick Kelly, Simpson has been offered "a deal that could total $6.5 million" from one program, while three SEC teams have offered "at least $4 million and more."

Simpson was the No. 26 overall player and No. 4 quarterback in the class of 2022, according to 247Sports' composite rankings. He's a bit of a rare breed in today's college football landscape in the fact that he waited three years at Alabama before becoming the starter, rather than transferring somewhere else.

Simpson played behind Bryce Young in 2022 and Jalen Milroe in 2023 and 2024 before eventually landing the starting job in 2025. While he had a few shaky outings, he was one of the best quarterbacks in the SEC this year, throwing for 3,567 yards, 28 touchdowns and five interceptions

His final game with the Crimson Tide came in the College Football Playoff quarterfinal against Indiana, where he threw for just 67 yards in a 38-3 blowout loss.

Bleacher Report's NFL Scouting Department considers Simpson to be the No. 30 overall player and the No. 3 quarterback in this year's draft class. In the latest mock draft from B/R, Simpson is projected to land with the Los Angeles Rams with the No. 13 pick.

While Simpson is widely projected to be a first-round pick, the NFL combine should give him a good idea of where he might land in April. Assuming he's a consensus first-round pick, it's hard to imagine Simpson will return to the collegiate level.

If he isn't so confident about going in the first round, perhaps he'll take one of the lucrative NIL offers he's reportedly received.
