I think the options are too open ended. If any of the following happened, I'd be happy, roughly in order:

1. Trade 2 1sts and change for Stroud or Bryce Young

2. Stay at 9 and take Richardson

3. Sign Carr to a deal of no more than $30 million per year with 90% of the guarantees accounted for in his 1st year.

4. Combination of 2 + 3 is fine as well

 

So what do I not want?

1. Trading 3 1sts for anyone

2. Trading up for Levis or Richardson

3. Not drafting any qb and having only Corral and someone like Darnold or Brissett

4. Giving Carr a big multiyear deal with guarantees that tie him to us for at least 3 years.

Anything that involves trading away picks is a risk not worth taking. We sign Carr, keep Darnold and Corrall. When 1 of the 4 top QBs slide to 9, see how bad somebody wants them. Gain more draft capital with the 9 pick. We now have a competent staff that could have this turned around really quick with a good draft in 2023. Draft a starting TE, an EDGE guy, a starting caliber LB and CB. I feel like Shaq is going to be a cap casualty, and I'm good with that. So a LB or 2 will be needed.

IIRC, the prediction for the 2021 draft was Lawrence at 1, Fields at 2 and potentially two other QBs going in the top-10. By the time the combine shook out and players had their pro days, things changed. All of the sudden, Wilson and Lance were the hot targets and Fields dropped off.

My point is, I seriously doubt these four QBs go in the first six picks. Free agency is going to weed out the teams in the top 10 who decide to sign a vet and have the cap space for it. There will be choices for the Panthers at 9, I have no doubt. I'd be happy to have one of those choices and maybe resign Darnold or sign Brissett until either Corral or the new draft pick step up.

      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.
