I'm told the Carolina Panthers are working out Paul Richardson/WR/Colorado today...scouting reports: http://www.draftinsider.net/reports/2014/WR/Paul-Richardson …

deep speed guy. 6'0 but is little 180 pounds. produced at a bad school and played high school ball with Marqise Lee and Robert Woods. did have a torn ACL injury in 2012, but played all last year with no injuries. Ricky didnt tweet it.

draft site:

It's too bad nobody pays attention to Colorado football because football fans really missed out on watching one of the nation's truly elite athletes....Richardson is as talented as any receiver in this draft not named Sammy Watkins

...

weaknesses: slender frame not the best for going over the middle or shedding tackles

strengths: He has all-world speed...Richardson’s elite speed makes him a matchup nightmare...He has instant acceleration; he explodes off the line...he shakes press coverage without defensive backs getting a hand on him...he has an explosive and deceptive double move...What makes Richardson's athleticism come to life are his ball skills which are off the charts...he has incredible ball skills; his ability to track and adjust to the ball in the air are elite. He has outstanding leaping ability and wide catch radius; he routinely makes circus catches...He has outstanding body control along the sidelines...and will take the top off a defense

...

summary: it's impossible not to be drawn by this kid's athleticism and the creativity he brings to the game. Coaches and general managers will be drooling over this kid’s potential throughout the draft process and figure to select this speedster out of Colorado some time early on day two of the NFL Draft.

Cool bringing everyone in, but he and Cooks are my least two favorite receivers in this draft.  Height doesn't concern me with either, it's how physical players at the next level are going to have their way with them if they don't adjust their game.  Still glad we are continuing our due dilligence, but Richardson is very meh for me.

      I don't think it's any weird or unique clause, it's the offset language, same thing so many contract disputes are over. It just means that including it, if a player is cut and then signed by another team, the original team would be able to subtract how much they're getting paid by the new team from what they still owe him on their guaranteed money. For example, it's why Russell Wilson signed for the minimum last year with the Steelers as that was included in his Denver contract.  So if he signed with the Steelers for $1 million, he'd get $1 million less from the Broncos, if it was $2 million, he'd get $2 million less, basically he couldn't make any more money than he was already going to make, so you sign for the minimum to not take unnecessary cap room from your new team while giving extra cap room to your old one. The problem with trying to include it in rookie deals is that a team trying to include it, it says they think they don't really believe the player will make it 4 years with the team before they cut them.  And this usually comes up with one or two rookies in most seasons, the difference is it's usually handled much more quietly and not as public and ugly as this one. The other difference is that it's happening with the Bengals, which I believe I saw are one of the few (or only?) team that doesn't have protections for rookies in rookie and mini camps to be able to participate even if they haven't signed their contract yet.  The other teams have injury protections that allow them to still play, but the Bengals do not, which is also why this one is so public and ugly, as most the time this happens, the rookie is still participating in the rookie and subsequent mini camps, giving them more time to get the contract done before training camp when they'd then hold out.
