Can we not get a pick from green bay for robby?

Thing is I think WR is going the way of the RB in terms of talent in the draft. There are so many talented WRs entering the draft every year and those guys are starting to make major impacts as rookies now why trade for an older, non elite WR at all when you can probably draft one with equal or better talent and have them on a rookie deal? 
 

Its why I’m confused by the Jets rumored offers for Deebo. If you are willing to part with like 4 draft picks for him aren’t you a bit concerned that those picks could just be used for WRs that have similar levels of talent? And combined they will cost less than what Deebo will get in a contract in like two more years. And you’d have them for 2-3 more years than him.

Robby's play will effect his career more than his mouth.  When can hold onto the ball on crucial downs he can talk all the smack he wants.

As the old saying goes "Don't talk the talk if you can't walk the walk."

 

Good post.  I'm with you on the talk and walk.

Let alone you will need to pay him top dollar once traded for I think it’s been terrible moves by the Raiders and Dolphins so far

    • 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.
