Will Clausen be a holdout come training camp?

[dham278]

A Notre Dame QB who has been told for months he would be a top-10 pick goes 48 overall. Will he come to Charlotte asking for first-round money?

[Black]

probably, he is only slated to get like 2.6 mil guaranteed

[beasonfanclub]

the longer he stays away, the more his "attitude" becomes suspect and he falls further and further behind matt----- so it's up to him.. anybody know who his agent is?? hope it's not rosenhouse (is that his name? -- TO's agent)

[loneswordsman13]

You have to be afraid of this whenever a top ten talent falls like he did.

I certainly can see him being a very annoying holdout.

[top dawg]

IF he is stupid.

He couldn't do a dumber thing than to hold out. Right now he has the opportunity to come in and take the job (or at least prepare himself for his future opportunity). If he holds out, he will have no chance at being a starter for the forseable future.

[holderoftruth]

if he comes in asking for first round money he will be laughed out of the building

[SmootsDaddy89]

It's something that worries me tbh, and I think if he DOESN'T, it's a huge positive sign.

[SOJA]

Very unlikely, but then again Clausen does have personality issues. I'm seriously hoping that a good talk from Mr. Beason will put this kid in place.

[CRA]

that will set the tone for his career imo....with his questions marks being what they are and his fall in the draft.....if he held out for money it would pretty much kill any shot the kid will at earning the respect of this lockerroom....which for him might be a tough task regardless.

[rayzor]

i hope not but it wouldn't surprise me. comes with the primadonna territory.

[bigdog10]

I'd say it's a given that his contract will take a while to get signed.

Fox and Company shouldn't have showed thier cards that they were trying to trade up and get him. Just take him at 48, say you're happy to have him, and them pay him the alotted money at that spot.

By saying they were trying to get to 32, that gives Clausen and his agent ammo to demand more money.

He can sit out all he wants though, only hurts his chances of beating out Matt

[SorthNarolina]

I sure hope not. It's an uncapped year so they're probably going to give him a big ass bonus with a cap friendly contract. He should be happy with that.

[Darth Biscuit]

He may very well get upper 2nd round money because of the fact they tried to trade up for him... but give Hurney some credit here, they're pretty good with salary stuff (with one exception of a certain aging QB).

[loneswordsman13]

I say let him. More glory for our real starter Moore.
