Yea too bad we missed out on Christian Kirk for 84m. 

 

Kirk deal is nuts.  Also, Cedric Wilson 3yrs/22m.  Free agency is about not doing stupid things just to do something and finding the best deals left after the initial wave of craziness.

Plus good veterans aren't gonna want to come here. Also, if you haven't noticed a trend, Rhule doesn't like veterans.

I don’t these these vets care where they go if the money is right. Schreff went to the Jags and Tomlinson to the Jets which haven’t been the most stable franchises. We are just hanging around waiting for Watson like dumb asses….

Chiefs signed Thuney last year because they were serious about repairing their OL. If you want a great OL you are going to have to pay for him.

That's not QUITE true.  Rhule doesn't like veterans . . . except HIS veterans.  Nothing else could explain the OLine situation as it relates to Brown and Christiansen this year.

There is a difference between guys chasing money and guys chasing success.

The argument is that you have to protect the QB. I think they did a good job of pointing that out.

No one is arguing against that. It’s more a question of whether it’s worth a $40M contract on day one when you can get solid guards for about 1/8 of that commitment.

      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.
