Where are these Debbie Downers coming from?  Are they Cicadas?  You get the best RB in the draft vs. the 10th best CB. I wanted the LB.  However, a RB that can catch better that Chuba, block better than Chuba, and run better than Chuba--behind our new guards---I see it.

 

Let’s be honest, at 39, we had our pick of CBs starting with the 3rd ranked DeJean. We also had the 2nd and 3rd ranked Cs available too.

The 2nd best RB was available at 65. You don’t have to be a Debbie Downer to think that a RB who ended his season with an ACL tear might have not been the best choice. I was fine with the trade down to get the 2025 2nd but a RB in round 2 is not who I would have wanted.

Committee.  Plus before his injury he was putting up better numbers than Bijan. Just saying. The Falcons took Bijan early and we got Brooks a round later. 

All good but until they go through the process it's irrelevant, if course they will start one of them but even that doesn't mean he's #1, that'll all depend on the game plans and how best to Ayan the defense.

I like that he doesn’t have a lot of wear and tear on his body yet since he was behind Johnson and Robinson his first couple seasons. I don’t like that he’s coming off an ACL injury, obviously. Seems like we’re really prepping to install and develop in 2024 and compete in 2025.

After a late night gym workout I'm willing to give this pick a chance. For all we know this dude might be a game changer at RB and another legit weapon for this offense. If he's the best RB I will take the experts word.

 

 

Amazing how a quick workout can change your whole vibe. I left angry at the pick lol. Now I'm cool.

 

The gym does wonders people stay healthy!

He looks like our new feature back than can run through you or around you, has hands, and is a home run threat. His ACL let us steal him where we did honestly.

      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.
