Absolutely no one should think this guy is meant to effectively compare to Burns, and if someone does then they're insane. He is meant to provide a portion of that production at a fraction of the cost in combination with a couple more players, and the odds are that most of the end/edge group this year are short-term trials (thus the 2-year contract). That's how it was always planned to play out, and if one of them suddenly develops into something more then that's icing on the cake.

Key here is creating a good enough rotation until we can find the flagship talent at EDGE.
 

The draft isn’t that great for it but there’s some interesting guys. Last year though..ugh Tuli would’ve been a monster in Evero’s defense.

 

Yeah pretty sure Evero has said in the past that he'll send 5/6/7 guys on a blitz if he needs to. Probably the case this coming season.

And who was beside DB most the season? I barely watched lol. Tuttle? A'Shawn should be a little upgrade to what he was working with inside last season

Yeah, if we can sign another pass rusher, we might have a sneaky good defense. Don't tell @rayzor though. I wouldn't want him to give him any false hope. But, yeah, all this was made possible by trading Burns away. There's some irony in there somewhere.

Honestly, if we could get decent center play, we might be ahead of schedule. Everything leads back to Bryce though...

He is Haynes replacement, assuming Haynes is not back--not Burns' replacement.  That is why we are still pursuing Chase and Clowny.  I am guessing it is going to be Clowny, and I am guessing it will be a one-year contract.  Of course, we could whiff on both, and that would necessitate drafting one.  I think we could draft a Sam 0LB and a rush/Jack OLB.

I feel like he is more of a YGM replacement. I think he starts opposite of Young/Clowney/draft pick. He is a big upgrade over YGM and not far from recent Burns when you look at a complete package. If we could sign Chase Young (or Clowney) and Fuller it will set us up nicely in the draft IMO.

      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.
