What were they even trying to accomplish here?  Why flex the o-linemen out wide?  Nobody thinks they're going to catch a pass.  Has anybody actually said what this play was supposed to accomplish, had it been successful?

Not sure if you've gotten an answer or not but Pat Macafee Darius Butler and AQ Shipley said based on what you can see based on lining your OL out wide with a speed guy, Dak running immediately after making the throw and the initial look the 9ers gave before the time out it likely was supposed to look something like:

1) Play designed assuming the 49ers rush none and drop 11 in coverage like teams usually do 2) Hook and lateral at the point of the catch, probably with Zeke or Dak 3) a throwback to the opposite sideline where you have a speed guy and linemen forming a seal like a screen

On paper may have worked but we'll never know because the 49ers called a time out after seeing the formation and afterwards when they came out in the same formation the 49ers of course rushed zeke immediately and blew the play up.

If it is Reich I hope we actually go all-out for a QB and trade up to #1 because my fear is the ultimate combo of mediocrity: Reich + Derek Carr. 

We'd be the Marvin Lewis Bengals; good enough for a playoff spot and even a division title every few years but ultimately doomed to the NFL's murky middle tier of teams not good enough to win it all but too good to ever be in position to draft that franchise-altering player. At least without getting insanely lucky in the draft.

      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.
