I thought the first round had came and gone? You mean to tell me that I dreamed that we drafted Ikey last night? 

What did I miss? 

I am not following your sarcasm, but your hindsight is spot on.  So you are saying a player with a first round grade has to be drafted in the first round or the grade was wrong?  The grade is based on value, not when he was actually picked.  I would add that Strong from Chattanooga did not have a first round grade, but he was drafted in the first round.  A lot of teams reach or pass on players based on need--not value.

Not Willis though. He doesn't fit us at all. Maybe another team but not us. 

I am not a UNC homer, but I would rather have Howell or Corral. Ridder?  I want to like him, but he just reminds me of a few players that busted.

A big play, Coryell style offense would make much more sense for someone of his skill set.

The Commanders (ugh, still can't get used to that name) would be a possible option.

Those grades are meaningless. You cannot go back and say a player taken in the 3rd round was actually a 1st round player because some goober said he was a 1st rounder according to his all knowing prognostication.

      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.
