It feels hella disrespectful to be talking to coaches about a vacancy while you have a head coach preparing the team for a game. This conversation couldnt wait ONE WEEK? 

This is the reality of the NFL, we just have a poo ton of leaks in our organization.

I mean.....cross that bridge when it comes. I don't think you will struggle to get those interviews filled. 

Even if it's a sham, it's an excellent opportunity to go through the process for the candidates and potentially make an impression. Definitely can lead to future opportunities if you treat it that way. 

Obviously if you are a guy that is a former head coach or have other opportunities to be a head coach, it might get declined.

I used Harbaugh but I wonder what would happen in that situation. Obviously it hasn't happened yet, but you have to think at some point it will in the NFL.

Teams are already doing work you can’t fall behind, Wilks knows he has to interview for it as well so this shouldn’t surprise him.

I get it. Harbaugh is a legit good coach. But this is messy and that kind of sentiment trickles down to other parts of the organization.

This is always happening, though, and any coach or player that thinks its too early to start getting together potential interview candidates is fooling themselves. Teams have been having these conversations since mid-season.  Just most teams aren't filled with OOU idiots, and no doubt our org has a bunch of dipshits from Rhule's days still.

the plan all along was to look at and interview other coaches. i'm more surprised that this kind of thing hasn't been done earlier. it's not like we've got a full time HC here. He's an interim. The job isn't his after this year.

I bet it has been ongoing honestly. I think this is just the first to leak, and I think it's in response to the previous fake rumors this weekend about it.

Not as disrespectful to the fans who have had to endure with this garbage since SB50. 
 

everyone likes Steve Wilkes. He is a great guy and respected by all of us but he came up short this year. I hope he can stay on as the DC but that probably won’t happen either.

      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.
