I'm just gonna put this here.

I'm sure there were better ways to handle it... but it's not like he's the first QB to ever have a hard time losing the SuperBowl. I tend to think it's good company. 

But I also want to note how hypocritical it is for a league that is RANK with corruption and scandal to be preachy about "sportsmanship." But that's for another day.

To me not congratulating your opponent on the field of battle right after the game is much worse than not wanting to take predictably moronic questions from the press or listen to your gloating opponents comments.

it's been pointed out over and over again that peyton manning and other high profile quarterbacks act exactly like cam did when they're losing or getting killed

but cam will forever and always be the guy who stole a laptop and dances instead of "acting like he's been there" and tossing the ball to the ref when he scores a touchdown in the minds of a lot of people so the double standard at play here is virtually a moot point

If I remember correctly Peyton was slammed in the media after that.

i remember him being pretty unfairly slammed as a crybaby and choker for years.  he was regarded as a stat padder who piled up numbers and accolades in the regular season but crumbled under real pressure.  the peyton manning as we know him now only really started to take shape after super bowl xli.

I think it's also worth noting that I believe that the Peyton Manning from this year was 33 years old?

      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.
