I’m just saying everything is very fluid. Burns may want too much money for example. Especially after hearing what they turned down for him.

Knowing that, do you think they're gonna turn around and ship him off?

You want to do nothing like we have done ever since Cam has left. It’s worked great so far. Makes sense…

"Since Cam left" basically equals the Matt Rhule era.

I know it might feel like it's longer than that but it really isn't.

There is A LOT of smoke/chatter currently on NFL Twitter about us having a trade in place with Chicago to get the first overall pick...

Wake me when it's coming from someone more legit than a Bears fan page.

I grant it's possible but I'd need better sourcing to buy in.

Evero said one of our top defensive players "among others" is a reason he took the job.  I mean that makes sense, but I seriously doubt he was promised Burns would be here for the long haul...  If we already had Burns' contract laid out that would be a different story.  Evero would still have Horn, Chinn, Brown and many of the "others" on that young defense.  Plus he will be involved in free agency and replacing a player like Burns if he is traded.

Which was equated to Teddy, Sam, and Baker all failing.  Teddy wasting money, Sam wasting money and picks.  Fitt has said multiple times that draft your QB is the ideal way to do it.  One could argue Rhule refusing to draft a QB early is what cost him his position ultimately.  Burrow was drafted, Allen was drafted (traded up), Mahomes drafted (traded up), Herbert drafted it's how teams acquire young QBs.  Rams traded for Stafford and I get they won it all, but now are interested in trading him, Broncos traded for Russ and we see how that went, Geno was a nice pick up for Seattle but they are still looking at QBs in the draft and have his contract structured where they can ditch him after this year.  We can keep trying to "think outside the box" or take on other team's castoffs but at the end of the day you have to eventually draft your QB.  We did it in 2011 and it worked very good, let's do it again.

      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.
