I refuse to get too reactive over receivers in this joint.  But from what I've seen, he knows how to gain leverage even if a guy is stuck to him.  Works well against man.  Has made noise against decent vets.  Also has some decent short area work against zone.  Very surprised by what he's been able to do on this anemic offense.  

Given we had dibs on UDFA claims and he was our priciest signing bonus, he was basically pick 258. 

And for what we've endured all over the draft -- and tried with KB, Colbert, TMJ, Gettis, Jarrett, Pilares, Armanti, Shi, Godwin, Biddle, hell, Joe Adams, could we have finally had an okay hit on a WR that so many teams seem to figure out and we consistently miss? 

Just chuck him and XL the ball as much as we can.  Keep getting them involved - they look like they can stick around.  Would like to see what they could do in an offense that's got a bit more psaz.

Even on that second pick Bryce threw, Had that ball been thrown any higher, Coker was coming down with that ball. Coker had it in his hands reaching down and over the defender, the defender just happened to turn around at the best moment and react to the ball being thrown right at him.

Yep.

In totality, 12 rec (14 targets), 186 yards, 1td in 4 games as basically our 3rd option.  That is a super promising start, especially considering our passing game average during that stretch has been 168 yards per game.  

Some fun stats:

Coker owns ~28% of our passing yards since he started playing full games (not counting the 1 target vs. CIN. 

And that's on only 14 of 128 pass attempts this team has made -- so he's been able to account for nearly 30% of our entire passing game off of an 10.9% target share.  That's wild.  Don't know if that's more impressive for him or shows how poorly we've been throwing the ball.

      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.
