I see people saying wait til they put pads on...

Pads aren't going to make a difference unless he's just incredibly strong.

His technique is poor and he stands up when he blocks... there's a good chance that when he puts the pads on that his technique is still going to be poor and he's still going to stand up when he blocks instead of sitting down.

Well there you have it, we have our new starting LT.

6'8" 320, absolutley worth signing and putting on the practice squad at the very least.  Having someone that large to go up against every week, can do nothing put help our defense, especially the new guys. Best case scenario, he turns out to be a beast and we can rotate him in.

And if he doesn't make the roster Gettle Claus will take him to the North Pole and live happily ever after.

He is no where near the 53 man roster but maybe good enough to make the practice squad.  Two years is the limit on PS.  Who knows. 

 

Every player that comes into the league isn't league ready.  Hell over of the draft picks aren't.  Most of them have to be coached up too.  Granted maybe not as much as this guy but rounds 4 and beyond are projects.  

 

Worst case:   He sucks and we let him go.   Best case we get a good player that cost us nothing in draft picks.

I played CIS ball (Canadian NCAA).  I'm 5,9 160 lbs.  I have no idea why anyone gets excited about Canadian signings. The competition is just not there.  Anyone who was anyone coming out of high school in Canada usually gets a scholarship to an American school. 

unless said players gave their word to attend a canadian university before the ncaa came knocking

      TBH, these are the kind of players that get weeded out of professional sports pretty quickly. Also, CMC is not that guy. There is zero indication that he isn't competitive.

      I like the free agency. It actually helps basically all schools across the board. Pretty much only ancient HC's and/or HC's that haven't been able to adjust have been complaining about the free agency. Your fortunes can be made or broken every offseason. It's not like before where a bad recruiting class or two meant multiyear purgatory.  I will never understand all the bellyaching about the NIL. If you want to talk about what ruined college athletics, it has been naked greed. Conference expansions for TV revenue, ever skyrocketing AD and facilities costs and now the attempts to permanently ruin the postseasons(football and basketball).  All the kids did was get a very well deserved piece of a very, very, VERY broken pie.

      Scourton isn't signed (& apparently it's a thing)

      Nobody is saying they don't count against the cap, because yes, they technically do count against the cap as it's money the team is paying and it needs to be accounted for. But what you're not grasping it seems is that if a player gets $10 million guaranteed in their contract, whether they get literally $0 as a signing bonus or $8 million as a signing bonus, it doesn't change the overall cap hit of the contract, because cap hits are about the guaranteed money, not how much is paid up front. The only thing that how much is paid up front changes, is how the cap hit can be spread out amongst the years. So yes, technically there could end up being a slightly bigger cap hit in year 3 and 4 due to a bigger signing bonus, but if that is the case, it also means there will be a lesser cap hit in years 1 and 2 than there would have been with a smaller bonus.  But over the length of the contract, the size of the signing bonus has literally zero affect on the overall cap hit of the contract, because THAT part of it is 100% about the guaranteed money and nothing else.
