Hearing people say he might only play 1-2 possessions. I know he has the starting job locked up, though we need to see what he offers in a real game. How long do you think we see him for? I was hoping for a good two quarters.

Two possessions sounds about right. I wouldnt expect a lot of PT for him until Cam hits the field as well. Plus, he is going to be on this team come the regular season. They need the guys like Lucas/Pilares/Bersin/King/Underwood to get majority of reps. Evaluation time for guys trying to grab a roster spot.

I'm a strong believer that KB is the real deal.. Still needs to be getting that playing time considering hes a rookie.

Yes he does. Im just not so sure it will happen game one. He needs all the playing time he can get, but Im thinking that will start more in game 2. And i know the knee isn't an issue, but that doesn't mean Rivera and Co. wont play it safe. Hopefully i am wrong and he plays first half tho.

      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.
