Normally the rosters get shuffled around when cuts start happening during training camp, what players do you think are closest to being "on the roster", but expendable if someone more interesting gets cut? I'm thinking Chandler, Martin and perhaps Amini could be in trouble in such an event maybe?

I see us keeping 9 OL and that 9th spot is up in the air. Remmers could become our backup center/tackle and we cut either Folkerts or Amini and keep Wallace as an extra tackle. This relies on whether Wallace shows he's worth keeping or not. And if they think he is, it could come down to Folkerts vs Amini. In which case I hope they choose Folkerts since he also can play guard.

i am going to be honest...both tackle positions are concerning

RT you have an unproven PS journeyman in Remmers and .a 4th round rookie in DW who will more than likely see limited snaps during his first season.sure both of these guys possess the potential to become good players but that is neither here nor now at this point in time.

LT is Mr.blindside himself but in fact he's played on the right side throughout the majority of his NFL career because he simply wasn't very good at stopping speed rushers.now will he be able to  write a fairy tail ending to his story is a mighty big IF to say the least.yeah,and Johnathan Martin was cut from the 49errors who desperately need all the help they can get doesn't bode well in the confidence department.

so,you basically are looking at 4question marks and some of course being bigger than others.but if we keep Cam upright and healthy this upcoming season we need at least a couple of these question marks to become the ANSWER.

    • This is gonna be longest six weeks ever 
    • This 1000%.  Hey who wants to sign with the guy that couldn't even get his client the guaranteed contract of a 3rd round pick?  Lmao
    • 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.
