Don't want Penei round 1

Look how greg little turned out

Anyone who watched 30 seconds of Little's combine knew he wasnt worth a 2nd, much less trading up to get. Hurney reached on a raw prospect AGAIN, and he blew it AGAIN and about 90% of this message board knew it when it happened. 

Saying Sewell and Little are comparable is like saying a Ferrari and a Gremlin are the equal just because they're painted red.

It was a joke of course.  I want LT in first.

I gotcha.

He won't be at 8 anyway .. Cinci has Tee Higgins, they're good at WR/TE .. Sewell is a Bengal

Is this part of the same scenario where the Jets don't take Zach Wilson?

Who wants to tell him?

I'll tell him, I guess.  So Little wasn't even a first round pick and was sinking fast in the 2nd round until Hurney inexplicably threw him a life line by trading up to draft Greg. I'm 99% sure he would have been there several picks later at our original draft position.  Heck, I didn't even want him then.

I mean they say this draft is loaded with offensive linemen so you could probably end up getting plenty of good offensive linemen later in the draft. If the draft is as deep in offensive linemen as they claim then why not draft a couple of them in later rounds?

Value vs. expectation.  The draft is deep on the OL, but we are looking for starters and while you can surely get some quality depth later in the draft, it is unrealistic to think they could turn into starters.  Thus good value, but unrealistic expectation.

    • 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.
