Shanahan and these Niners weapons are the real deal. People are going wild for Brock Purdue but it ain't him.

Yeah. He's not the next Tom Brady.

Bingo.

Purdy is an awesome story but I don't think it lasts. 

It's lasted so far. I think he'll make it to the NFC Championship. The kid is making the reads, he isn't scared and he not only can move, but he knows when and how to move either in or out of the pocket. He also knows when to  bail out of a play, that's wise beyond his experience.

Not saying he doesn't have great weapons and protection around him and a defense that helps immensely, but we've all seen guys who had all that and couldn't do much with it.

I completely agree that the team around Purdy is ridiculous and Shanahan is an offensive genius (I mean he got Matt fuging Ryan to the SB and an MVP...). That being said, Purdy has been incredible too, considering the circumstances (3rd string 7th round rookie). I honestly think he's been playing better in Shanahan's system so far than Jimmy G ever did even in their SB run. I know, that's not saying much since Jimmy G has been overrated when Shanny deserves the credit, but if he keeps playing like this they have a better chance to win it all than they have had before under Shanahan in my opinion. The worry for them though is teams having more film on him and he'll struggle against the elite defenses he'll see later in the playoffs.

      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.
