I hope this means that we're completely sold on "our guy" and we've made our choice.

I get the feeling it more likely means nobody (specifically the Texans) is offering much of anything.

There's basically only one team you can trade with, unless you really like Richardson, so this doesn't come as a surprise.

True but so many people thought we’d be able to get pick 12 just to move back one and pick CJ. Of course Houston would tell us who they are picking. I never understood why Houston would do that. We couldn’t trade with anyone else because then we are taking QB3.

I have a gut feeling Young is the guy.  

It means nothing. It's likely that other teams have Stroud number 1 too.  This would only make sense if Houston was the only one calling about that pick.  If we eliminated Houston from the potential of trading up...which they likely wouldn't be interested anyway it means that both Stroud and Young would be gone by pick number 3.  If we spoke to Houston and wanted assurances of who they were going after why would that trade even happen...would be absolutely stupid on Houston's part.

What means nothing, my gut? How dare you

      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.
