Training camp opens next week and Burns is still unsigned

Rookie salaries are based on formula that uses the rookie compensation pool and draft position. I can't find anything that mentions position as a factor.  This is almost always about guaranteed money distribution.

I’m just wondering would it be bonus monies or escalators that have to be agreed upon because all the defensive players are easily candidates for DROTY. I can see it being hard to agree with Getts in NY but that long snapper and Deebo leaves me confused.

There are a few EDGE/LBs unsigned.  Not sure if its related.  As in, one signs to get specific contract language, then the rest follow suit.  Nick Bosa (DE), Quinnen Williams (DT), Devin White (LB), Burns are all left.

 

Should be noted I don't believe the Panthers have ever had a hold out.  I believe it will get done.  Newton signed his the day before training camp.

Position features heavily in franchise tag calculations and a top -level player might really want to keep that in mind, especially when it comes to the designation of LB vs DE, as the DE position generally charts out at a couple of million bucks more for a franchise tag payday.

I believe most of the unsigned picks have the same agency.  Burns should be signed, hes in no names lands with picks in front and behind signed. The top 6 is where the big issues are, starting in 2011 the scale was set. Now the agents have fought to change that. The top ten is also way different than being drafting 11-32.

With the rookie salary scale now, position really doesn't matter. You're paid based on your draft slot, not your position. About the only major thing up to negotiation is offset language which IMO is bullshit and something the players should be pushing to ban in the next CBA.

It sure as hell matters when that rookie deal is up.

    • see we are just not going to agree - unless you change your mind lol. Mine isn’t changing without hard evidence that Morgan supported it like a puppy dog.  He was the assistant. If he disagreed and said so, and they didn’t listen, he has to pick his battles. If he continued to oppose he is looking for work. He knows this stuff. I think he knows Bryce is a super long shot just because he faced NFL QBs and probably would have salivated at the thought of Bryce on the other side in his playing days.  Anyway I am going to judge him on what he has done since he’s been the man with the title.  I also would bet a stack that there were conditions placed on him and on Canales re Bryce Young. Can’t prove it. I am not supporting the Brooks pick, and rationalizing the XL pick. And rationalizing the Brooks pick to an extent, on the (assumed by me) mandate that was a condition of the hiring. Which was ‘sell out’ to make Bryce work. This year. Now. (2024) That is what those top two picks were.  IMO. They failed, id judged today.  I think Morgan is doing a great job really, once he got his feet under him and was allowed to do his job.  Fixing this team while accommodating Tepper/Bryce, more than a two year fix.    Anyhow I have beer to drink will check back later.

    • Saints WRs Chris Olave and Rashid Shaheed: While the Saints have maintained they don't want to trade their wide receivers, other teams are still monitoring their availability.
