really liked most of the NYers, but man, I had to remind them that people were not deaf

I know right?  I guess its because they have to talk over the traffic.

Sam is no more a NYer type than I’m like Salma Hayek or a Song Girl.

Yeah.  He really comes off as a genuine surfer dude a little.

On Salma Hayek, yeah well, I really like her. Pinault is a lucky lucky man.

Sam lived in Morristown, NJ which is one of the most beautiful towns in the United States --- needless to say, lots of trees there.

Hey, I didn't know that.  Not sure why he says it reminds him of home.  Maybe he's just being nice.

Players talk bs to the media, its not new. He is definitely just being nice and trying to fit in. Not that there is anything wrong with that.

Its just an odd/specific compliment.  He said something to that affect in Panthers Confidential too.

If I was just BSing I'd say, hey its a cool town, or its a nice city... not...it reminds me of home.

No idea, maybe it does remind him of home, but I dont know in what way. The question might have needed a follow up, like in what way does Charlotte remind you of your hometown?

Nahhh, not that curious.  I much prefer the pressers focus on the football.  I found it interesting that he's in the room watching Drew Brees and Teddy run the offense.  That he's talking to Robby, and Robby will be ready. 

That he wants to win every rep.  That's what I felt missing last year, that drive to win.  Cam wore it on his sleeve.  Sigh.

If Charlotte reminds him of home, that's great, I want him to feel at home.  But I just don't care about his couch situation.

Believe me, you could be living in a paradise, but if it’s not “home”......your heart will always long to go back.

Well David Newton sucks. I am not sure how he still has a job, maybe blackmail?

Yeah, its like he's tired of talking about football.  He needs to be a movie or restaurant critic or go on the lifestyle/living reporting beat.  Who gives a fug about Darnold's couch? 

In other words :

I moved from a Southern California beach town, surrounded by agriculture, to middle Tennessee.  I focused on the similarities when I moved here, you can always find them, I’m surrounded by agriculture here as I was back home, small town mentality is the same.

You focus on that to be happy.

      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.
