I believe that catch was after the offense had to call a timeout. If I recall, Olsen initiated the TO and pointed to the defensive back. It was funny, a lot of the folks sitting in my section were pissed we had to use a timeout, however, looking back it became clear that Olsen didn't like what he saw. 

I was one of those people that was pissed we had to use a timeout, haha.

I know why Ginn drops some now

Cause hardly any NFL WR uses just pure speed to get open, look at Julio Jones over Norman @ATL .. Jones has great speed but he doesn't solely rely on speed to get open and catch the ball and a lot of great receivers dont ... Jones and other great WR's will use their physicality and other skills

Ginn is pure speed to even get to the speed he runs on fly routes, that takes a lot of effort and concentration and training and a disciplined lifestyle, then add catching the ball too .. when you are running the speed of Ginn catching the ball isn't easy like when physical receivers just out jump a CB (not that this is any easier .. but it is when you are running at the speed of Ginn)

Does this make any sense? 

Ginn has always knew since starting to play football as a kid if he could run fast enough he could make money playing football .. well ... I think he runs fast enough

    • 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.
