Sam Pittman is now available. I suspect Jerry Jones is behind this and about to throw some $$$ in someone's direction.

Sam Pittman buyout
A clause in Pittman's contract makes his
buyout more interesting. Pittman signed his contract after the 2021 season and the clause determines how much his buyout would be.
Pittman will be owed $9.3 million, according to his contract documents obtained by the USA TODAY Network. According to the clause, if Pittman had a record below .500 since 2021 by the end of the season, he would be owed $5.7 million. However, if his record since 2021 is .500 or better at the end of the season, he would be owed $8.5 million.
With a 29-27 record since 2021, Arkansas could have waited to see if Pittman would have lost more games to pay a lower buyout. But the Razorbacks had seen enough and decided to part ways.
