I'm pretty sure Norwell is still with the Jags. I think he agreed to take a pay cut.

Yep. Like I've been saying, Norwell hasn't been bad he just hasn't lived up to that massive contract the Jags gave him. He's a good OG but he was never the type of OG you entertain making the highest paid at the position.

My blunder. He did restructure to stay on the team. Do you think that he would have gotten that reprieve if his College coach didn't get hired there?

LG pointed out he's still paid among the top 10 guard salaries.

You can think that's just because he played for Meyer during his last 2 years of college if you want. Reality though is that Norwell was never bad, just overpaid.

Ok. It was on record that Norwell was trash, which is why he went undrafted. He started doing better once he was plugged into the system we were running then and started to get his footing. He made first team All-Pro, and his name hasn't been brought up till this thread because someone asked about Trai. 

And btw, I was asking do you think that which is why it was in the form of a question. You need to get over that pompous attitude. I'm just trying to talk football.

You're doing it poorly.

This many years down the road, nobody gives a sh-t what Norwell was like in college.

You gave a bad opinion about Norwell and now you're spinning like crazy to try to justify it.

Okay, so now coach connection (Rhule brought in players from Temple, Baylor last year-Now Urban at Jacksonville), player's first years in the league(not Norwell in college-beginning of time here), and seasonal honors don't matter. Nobody's trying to spin anything. You are just arguing in a vacuum because you like Norwell more. We could've avoided all this if you had just said that when I asked why. This is a message board. It is okay if it is your basic opinion. My initial question was just to glean from your and Linville Gorge's posts if there was anything else to it. There wasn't.

      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.
