It happens... I was screaming at the TV for Parsons. Truth be told, had he been drafted to CAR he likely would have been wasted with Snow

But were you screaming for Parsons as an edge? 
 

Hindsight is enormous with Parsons. There were questions with him as a stand up linebacker and I’m doubtful if someone claims they saw elite edge rusher as his direction.

At no point was anybody screaming for a LB in that draft so don’t fall for the fake internet hindsight game.. These dude lie all the time about how they knew this player was the guy and we should have gotten this guy or that guy.. When reality was ppl wanted the Olinemen in San Diego or Fields .. Nobody was screaming defensive player in that draft..

Shenault is a horrible route runner.  They are doing great with him.  All you can do is scheme plays up for him.   He is a gadget roleplayer.  

The separation he gets is due to him being a 4th read option.  The defense doesn't count him in coverage if most our options are covered.  His separation is misleading, but he can move once he gets the ball in his hands. If he becomes more of a receiving threat then defenses will tighten that up to where he would be in line with the others.  Basically, the defense never really worries about him in the open field as a receiver until they have to. Yesterday they didn't.

I posted something about this the other day, Parsons isn't a player any team can really be upset about their team not drafting and is pure revisionist history if they are.

Guy was a MLB in college and projected to be one in the NFL, nobody realized he could be the dominant pass rusher that he's turned into.  If they did, he'd have been at worst the #3 pick in the draft, could see Wilson still going ahead of him given the hype he had, but I don't think lance would have gone before him if anyone remotely saw this coming.

      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.
