@Verge Any news on what Detroit is gonna do? Assuming Fields is falling and the Broncos are out on a trade up now, who else could come calling or are they more likely to sit and take Sewell now?

I think they really really want to trade down.

It's one of the first times in a while I feel really good about the Panthers in the draft, like no matter who they take at 8 I am happy about it. Unless it's Farley because that would be pretty high for a medical risk like that. Plus not having Hurney make the pick is relief within itself. 

Hurney in the 1st was the one thing he did that I always felt comfortable about. The man could land a damn player in the 1st round. He just couldn't do anything else.

Hoping Fields is there at 8 and we pull the trigger. I swear, people are sleeping on that kid and he’s gonna be a star. I was on the Herbert train last year and that worked out pretty well, so I’m trusting my gut again and rolling with Fields. 
 

Either way, this will be the most exciting and entertaining draft in a long time. I got my popcorn ready.

I just don't see how we could operate under the assumption that Darnold is it...

Darnold / Walker / Grier / Stevens

That QB depth is abysmal, and Darnold is UNPROVEN and coming up on either the 5th year option + future extension -- that is a HUGE risk to skip on a QB like Fields, hell even Lance knowing we have a year they can sit, and we don't have to pick up Darnold's option. 

To me it just makes too much sense not to do.

      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.
