Yup, certain names are starting to get attached to teams now.

I've also heard don't be shocked if Penix goes ahead pf McCarthy.  Personally, I've always had Penix higher.  For whatever reason about a month ago McCarthy caught fire, but that fire seems to be smoldering a bit now. Penix is being talked about to either the Vikings or Raiders and Nix to the Broncos, but that would be a later trade, not in the first round.

If I were starting a game next week and had McCarthy and Penix on my roster--its Penix all day.  McCarthy seems to be running a self-promotion add.  At the beginning of all this, you and I (I think) debated whether McCarthy would be there at 33.

Damn

 

I swear it feels like they are going at a QB, the big three will be gone by 3......does JJ have their eye?.....I still think penix is better.

I called penix going form 12-32 months ago, but Im starting to feel that first number needs to be lower now.

I think penix is 1st lock, imo.

 JJ hype has cooled massively, but I still think he's a 1st too.

 

Yeah--Penix is better, but it all depends on Penix.  The Raiders have been rumored to him.  Latest rumor?  The Dolphins take Penix, avoid the contract w Tua.  Downfield thrower to those speedster WRs.  It makes sense.

 

Think about it--Miami trades up with Denver who moves back to 21 and they take Nix.  Miami gets Penix, saves millions on the Tua contract, and The Raiders are bamboozled.

I think that's the deal, the Dallas or miamis are sick and tired of the contracts that are 60mill per for a QB that struggle in the playoffs, get a cheaper and better player. (others teams may join)

I'd do the same, there's maybe 4-5 QBs Id give that insane bag to, dak and tua are not there...

      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.
