Bryce Young's contract?

The article makes total sense, but it also then makes it seem very odd that Bryce isn't signed yet for a couple reasons.

First, we have one of the richest owners in the sport, so it's surprising that when he pays out Bryce's signing bonus would be a sticking point for him, hard to see cash flow being an issue for him, so whether you pay it all to him at signing, 2 weeks later, or a month later, what's the difference to him?

Second, Bryce has already seemingly done really well with his endorsements, the kid isn't hurting for money right now.  So why is it a big deal to him if he gets his money as soon as he signs or has to wait a few weeks to a month or so to get a portion of if?

I always thought the sticking point in these was the offset language, that agents hate because it can cost their clients money if they end up getting cut before the rookie deal is over.  But this article makes it seem like it's more about when they get their bonus money, which is even stranger as it seems like it's either immediate or in installments a few weeks apart.  

So why delay the signing?

If they signed right away, they'd already have their full bonus by now with how most of these contracts are structured it seems, very odd all around.

 

its not about bryce its about precedent.

It'll only be odd if he isnt signed by Tuesday.

Yeah, if ive learned anything its that the rich people that got rich enough to buy a team are often the pettiest people in the world. Doesn't matter that they can lift a pinky and transfer $50mil to you tomorrow, its that they know they dont have to do that and instead make you wait. Its all just a power play, pride, and ego from some of the most vein class of people to ever exist on the face of the planet.

Rich people are poor people with money.  Doesn't make it any less annoying though

Both sides are thinking the same way about the money.

Wouldn't he need to sign by Saturday since rookies report this weekend?

I get the trots just thinking about eating there. I picked up some bo rounds for my dad and the bottom literally fell out of the bag from all the excess grease.

I'd eat the fug out of some Bojangles right now if I didn't care about my heart.

Ideally, but TC starts Tuesday. That’s the big deadline.
