Cuts from around the league

Another guy that looks interesting to me for OT depth is Darius Harper who was just cut by the Chargers.  UDFA from Cincinnati, he put up a notable performance at his schools pro day, posting an elite 8.23 relative athletic score (RAS). His best marks from the day include a 5.05 in the 40, a 30.5-inch vertical, and a 4.54 in the short shuttle.

Harper projects well as a developmental tackle prospect with an upside of a swing tackle in the NFL. He’s got a prototypical build and notable athleticism, two of the best indicators for a decent floor at the next level

Chargers had too many tackles for him to even have a chance so he may be worth a look on tape.

What else can they do?

Can't stash him on IR as he's not injured. Can't cut him as then you can't trade him. Isn't technically suspended by the NFL yet either I don't believe. They're in a tough bind.

Why is this a surprise?  Surely no one expected he would just be cut, right?

This is really the only thing they can do.  His trade value is non-existent right now, right or wrong.  He's worth $67 million in dead cap this year and $51 million next year.  The only way the Texans get out from under that is by waiting until 2023 to cut him OR find a trade partner.

Very few people believed they'd stick to their guns. Everyone kept saying they'd blink and accept a lesser offer.

For better or worse, Caserio doesn't seem inclined to relent.

Wait, I thought he played fullback?  Hold on, didn't he retire a long time ago??  How can he play games and be an announcer???  I'm so confused????? 😆

You’re confusing Darryl with his brother Daryl and his other brother Darrel.

If you remember this, you are old as dirt (as am I) and if we meet, I will buy you an Ensure.

Bob Newhart.  Couldn't tell you the name of the sitcom but yes I'm old.

      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.
