Bingo. There's also a LOT more NFL prospects than just Trevor Lawrence at Clemson. I'd be baffled if we didn't send coaches.

Yeah but apparently only Lawrence and Powell are working out. That's kind of weird unless they plan on spacing everything out. 

Maybe most of these guys are just going to sit on their film and let the process take it's course.

I remember hearing we didn’t scout Clausen because we didn’t believe he would be there at our pick and that’s why we didn’t see the red flags so I’m glad we are doing our homework because you never know behind the scenes why a player falls if you don’t scout.

Oh we have no reason NOT to go down there. It's close and maybe if they fall in love they decide to attempt to sell the far to get him from Jacksonville.

My understanding is he wanted to do this early because he's having some kind of minor surgery on his shoulder.

      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.
