NGL, I wasn't really moved one way or another about Reich's hire.  Yes, it seemed a bit uninspired, but I could also see the positives.  I liked him a lot more as an OC (I actually wanted to at least interview him after the Philly run) than the results he had as a HC, but the results he had ad a HC also had some very extenuating circumstances involved.  Anyway, I'm choosing to be optimistic.  If he brings in Fangio, that optimism will be a hundred times higher...  I really, really like that hire, bc the issue with any new regime is turnover if you have success.  BUT, I feel like Fangio is at that point and age where he is unlikely to get another HC shot, so he may be like a Monte Kiffin, Jim Johnson, Dick LeBeau at this stage of his career, where he is just permanently entrenched as the DC and you don't have to worry about losing him and having to start over with a new guy and tweaks to he system.

All that being said, for that dream to become a reality, we need the offense to really hit the ground running and stay locked in from there so we can enter into the longest period of sustained, meaningful success we've ever had.

    • 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.
