I want to see what the Huddles expectations are for next season. So let me pose three questions for yall to answer!

What is our best case scenario next season?

What is our worst case scenario next season?

Where do we most likely finish in our division?

Love the optimism but damn, 14-3?

I’d go with:

Likely - 8-9

Best Case - 12-5 (+4)

Worst Case - 4-13 (-4)

I do think we have a not so hard schedule so I think 9-8 is more likely than 7-10, but not by a ton.

I do think in the optimistic crowd that we aren’t factoring in any injuries. I think we had a pretty healthy year last year. If we lost two starting OL in week 4, that would have hurt rather than the last week. With our depth, injuries could be a huge impact.

It's a shame that we're the only ones likely to be affected by injuries.

You do understand what a "best case scenario" means, right?

Yes, and 14-3 as a ceiling is best team in the NFL. I think that’s beyond the actual team’s best case. Just my opinion, which you are welcome to have as well.

Nah. It's not necessarily best team in the NFL. It's a team who outperforms anyone's expectations and has almost no injuries, while playing one of the easiest schedules in the league.

SMH. Would you say SF had more injuries than we did last year? Would you say our OL in 2015 was healthier than 2016. Yes, every team has injuries, but we were pretty healthy across the board. I’m just saying that that tends to regress to the mean. Look at Corbett still being out, that’s already worse than last year for the OL.

14 wins is the most in the league since our 15 wins in 2015. In the past 7 years, 13 or 14 wins has been the highest win total of any team, even in the past couple of 17 game seasons. 14-3 is actually saying the team would be the best in the league or at least tied for the best record. Again, not a problem if we disagree, I just don’t think this team’s ceiling is the best record in the league.

Go ahead and shake your head.

I'm just saying you shouldn't bank on injuries. Expecting us to not do well because we'll get hurt?

This is where I shake my head and facepalm.

      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.
