Pluses: Tall, fast, above average hands.

Minuses: Speed is linear, doesn't play big despite size (jump balls aside), needs to be schemed open/struggles versus press.

I wouldn't have minded him in as our 2nd pick, not with our first though.

Struggles versus press? Needs to be schemed open? Where did you get that bit of information?

Legette gets to his spot and detaches from the defender, albeit not as gracefully as some. He's a bull in a china shop with defenders in different coverages. With footwork development and more nuanced movement, he may not be a bull, but a monster against the press. He plays bigger than his size, as is evidenced by his jump balls, which is huge (not some afterthought as you framed it). Where he doesn't play "big" thus far is on screens, but perhaps a better O-line will help that. 

As for being schemed open, that's not really true either, at least at USC (East). But I'd say that it's a good thing to get your weapons open in space and let them do what they do. You just find things that work, and that's what successful coaches do.

He is by no means perfect, to me it looks like he is very poor att what he is poor at and very good at what is is good at. I take that over everything good but nothing above good. 

Fit is a question, Young is not at toss it up gunslinger. It is easy to imagine a 1000+ season with a guy like (prime) Wilson or Jake.

      Wild Idea.. Trade for Shemar Stewart

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      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.
