It makes too much sense not to, especially if you are an org that is good at working with QBs.

Which I think the new staff was hired because they show that ability. That is where it can help you. 

Another guy I wanted to draft. Smh

I follow your logic but that's an overly simplistic and reductive approach.  It doesn't really make sense to just apply a blanket average velocity to every type of NFL throw.  Certain passes are going to require a bullet pass into a tight window.  Certain passes are going to require touch.  Launching a 50 yard pass downfield to an Adam Thielen in 2.7 seconds of pocket time is going to require a lofty rainbow pass with a lot less velocity.  Even simply swapping Thielen for a receiver like Ja'Marr Chase is going to drastically change the velocity requirement on that throw.  A metric like "average velocity" when accounting for every single type of NFL throw is pretty meaningless.

Well no poo, I don’t bother stating the obvious because it’s obvious.  The point is 2.7 seconds is plenty enough to get off a deep pass.  There’s always someone like you lurking around trying to nitpick around the point though.  Touch grass.

You think my original post you quoted was even remotely suggesting it's not possible to get a deep pass off in 2.7 seconds?  Maybe you should re-read it...it seems your irritation stems from your own confusion.  Don't quote me to make a redundant "point" that I agree with and then get sassy for how I respond to it.  Even though your point is obvious and bland, the entire crux of your argument revolved around irrelevant calculations involving average velocity; so I don't think it's nitpicky to have questioned that.

Some of y’all really need to chill. What’s the point in getting so distraught already? Why not just wait and see how the season plays out?

There's literally no reason not to.

No way he keeps it if he wins it. Living in Knoxville has allowed me to see enough of Milton to seriously doubt he can become that guy. He doesn’t like to run, gets in a funk after mistakes and he has made plenty of them. He can launch a ball 70 yards but has little control over where it lands. He is also older for a rookie. He might get plenty of preseason looks but if they are serious about winning it should be Brissett or Maye whenever he is ready.

Point is he was taken in the 6th round and he’s doing well in camp.  They spent a top pick on a QB and still took a 6th round flier on a guy.  Because hitting on a QB is everything.

Doubling down on qbs pays off sometimes.  I like Milton last year as a later round guy to stash if the Bryce Experiment goes belly up. Called him the antiBryce. NFL arm and size but maybe not NFL everything else a QB needs.

      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.
