Cam is going win us a superbowl. Then throw up his middle finger to all the people that keep talking about not diving on the ball. Like that one bad play defines his entire career. Keep Pounding!!!

I have not heard anything about that in years.  The criticism was not for "one bad play," it  was because he had a reputation (deserved or not)  for pouting when the chips were down.  Again, I  have not seen that side of him in a long time.

Cam has grown up a lot over the years, but that's kind of to be expected by anyone from the time they are 21 to 30. It's when people don't grow and gain wisdom over those times that you really should worry. That's how you get Johnny Manziels, and nobody really wants one of those on their hands.

Cam was an extremely gifted athlete who got some opportunities, made a mistake or two, had to earn his way back, got to move to the NFL  as the #1 draft pick, earned millions, dazzled even more millions, then got knocked around in front of the world during a championship game. It broke him that night in front of a live television audience and the man let his emotions get the best of him. He could have just disappeared or let it sour him, but he came back, determined and eventually found his joy again. He's working through another one of those lifetime trials right now and I hope to see him grow even more and come back reforged, refined and reinvigorated.

Time will tell, but young Mr. Newton has certainly showed he is made of strong stuff. And  yes, he's still very much a young man, and that can be a very good thing.

I just take that as him saying that he isn't going to to play scared. We saw early past year that the offense is going to feature a lot of quicker, easier passes to complete and that will likely remain true even if Cam gets his fast ball and deep ball back. It's something many of us had been begging for during the Shula era.

What is the deal with you wanted to start an untried rookie over the one and only cam?

Looks like he has gone to be with michaelinraleigh, his threads and posts have disappeared as well. I guess they will go create a Cam bashing forum.

      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.
