Also, if I remember correctly JR had the same feelings on consultants for 20 years and then changed his tune because he was surrounded by idiots. Hopefully Tepper catches on to the fact he’s not qualified and is here because he’s rich. And yes that will probably prove to be a challenge for him.

And if I remember correctly, wasn't the result of that consultation....Dave Gettleman?  Yes, we had our most successful group of years winning when he was here (still no consecutive winning seasons but 3 playoff seasons in a row, one at 7-8-1 in 2014 and a Super Bowl appearance following the 2015 season), but how much of that was really on him?  Hindsight being 20/20, his drafting and roster management left a lot to be desired.  Can you say Josh Norman fiasco?  And then the subsequent 3 cornerbacks drafted in a panic?

Then, JR fired him just before the 2017 season and rehired the same idiot he had fired previously.   

Yeah, good times.

Do people think good GM candidates are gonna be attracted to a team whose owner fired the last guy even though he didn't have power over the roster? 🤔

Tepper gives an unqualified college coach full roster control over a seasoned NFL personnel guy, then fires the personnel guy despite forcing him to work under the unqualified college coach, and we're expecting other people to want to work for this owner?

Tepper didn't force Fitt to take the job. He knew he was going to have to be a yes man to be here.  I would prefer a gm that's not a yes man.

      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.
