Not all but when your speed is a undrafted guy made of glass and a older player with suspect hands then it is an issue. This sounds like people defending gettleman last year saying bell and chandler will be enough.

 

Oh come on now. Brown and Ginn are to receiver what Bell and Chandler were to starting tackle? Seriously? Corey Brown is no longer an undrafted rookie, he's someone with way more experience than every single player that's been drafted this weekend. I think he'll prove his worth as a #2 receiver or excellent #3 depending on how they use Funchess.

...cant have the top player in every position because its financially impossible... I like the blend we have on offence... if we can get an Olineman worth a damn on the left side i'll be feeling real good and the draft isn't the only place to get one...

.

At this point yes the draft is the only place to get one lol. We refused to sign anyone of value at ol or wr because we assumed we would draft better. If Oher doesn't have an amazing comeback year we are in trouble.

Now this is good criticism.  

 

Could easily push back and say, this is like people taking up for Gettleman after the Kelvin pick.  

 

I think the point that everyone needs to understand is that EVERY TEAM has a weakness.  

 

The teams strongest strengths and the weakest weaknesses win playoff games.  

 

Patriots weren't perfect, nor were the Seahawks.

Funchess is on my short list for receiver. Liked him from day one. He was a mid 1st rounder at one point and then dropped for various reasons following the combine including getting labeled as a TE by several scouts. He is a WR. Same thing happened with idiot scouts trying to force KB into a TE spot last draft.

 

Funchess is a WR who can play well inside the hashes.

 

Love the pick. Uneasy about the value given up for him.

Have any of you "we gotta get a speed receiver" think that maybe Hill is that other speed receiver or our staff has faith that Ginn and Brown are more than enough.

 

I just watched his highlights and am satisfied that Funchess is a good pick.

 

BTW I seriously doubt we moved up the draft just to Fug New Orleans or Atlanta.  They may have been targeting him but G'man felt he was valuable enough to go after.

      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.
