Also for the record this kid deserves the presumption of innocence since he has not been convicted, charged or even suspended by league. Safe to say it ain’t gonna happen. Let’s give him the same presumption of innocence we gave the Commander in P grabber who had more accusations. If the grabber can lead the country and still flaunt plenty of power to this day I think Watson can QB the Carolina Panthers. 

Presumption of innocence is a legal term. Neither the NFL nor society has that obligation.

As for Trump he didn’t lead crap and he is guilty in my eyes. But yet he still gets his due process. And might even get elected again.

Also FU for bringing up and defending that cancer in a thread that has nothing to do with politics you petulant child.

"Presumption of innocence" is for criminal cases, which are filed and controlled by law enforcement.

Watson is currently the defendant of a civil case, which is filed and controlled by the victim(s). As civil cases do not determine guilt or innocence, the presumption of innocence does not apply.

(In)action by the league also is not a great determining factor as to whether or not somebody accused by 20+ individuals.

"But Trump got away with it, so should Deshaun" is also an absolute poo take.

      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.
