Have you seen the FA market? It’s basically this or just don’t sign anyone. Pretty bare.

Id rather burn a 4rth/5th on a speed dude coming out of college rather then sign him though. I guess it depends on what the deal actually is

 

tez johnson in the 4rth would be nice if he fell that far

This would be great. The offense needs speed that can actually get on the field. A late-round dart throw rookie won’t earn snaps. Hopefully Slayton can come in on a cheap short deal and we draft a guy to develop behind him.

Exactly. The offense needs a specific type of receiver

Darius Slayton at his projected 3 year/$37.5M contract or no one? Absolutely give me no one then. Not even a difficult decision.

Sportrac's projection is even worse on a per year basis.

This is for a guy who basically put up Legette level numbers last year and half the fanbase is ready to write him off as a bust. LOL

      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.
