No doubt there are safeties available to sign but it might be costly...would bringing in a LB hurt?  I'm not sure D Johnson is available but knowing TD is out 4 games and we depend mostly on our front 7 play, is it not worth bringing in another LB?  I would really like a safety but LB doesnt sound bad either!  Does anyone think that Marty will sign another vet this week?

I mean, we've got Shaq and Luke for 40+% of the snaps.  That 50-60% when we're in our base, Shaq will be in TD's role and I think Mayo will fill in fine at OLB.  Factor in maybe it's Norris or one of our new draft picks, and we're solid.

Derrick Johnson already signed with the Raiders. 

I don't expect us to sign anyone with TD only missing four games. Plus we drafted two LBs late this year.

That's the issue, they were drafted late...normally we play LBs same year when they are drafted early.  Lol like first round early only

He's only suspended for four games. If we like the young LBs were not going to risk potentially putting one of them on the PS while TD is suspended.

I actually thought Cash would have stuck around more.  I think he is with AZ

      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.
