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

If we are going to burn a 4th or 5th in the draft on a maybe, just trade the same for a proven vet. Samuel's went for a fifth right. Why not go for proven talent? Just saying...

I dont know how much he was impacted by poor QB play, but it always seemed like the Giants were trying to push him out the door/keep him on the bench. Hes probably a WR 3 or 4 at his best, even on this roster. I'd rather draft a WR or take a chance on Elijah Moore.

I think we could definitely afford him if we thought he could help. In looking over his contract with the Giants I loved his contract in 2024. It had 2million n incentives like yards, TDs, making the probowl etc. Really pays if they produce which is how it should be. I wish more contracts were filled with incentives instead of guarenteed money.

The contract still has to account for the incentives whether he meets them or not. I personally would not trade for any player that is offered up for trade. They will be released eventually and will not cost a draft pick along with a large contract.

You mean the cap would include those incentives he is likely to earn based on past performance? Yes. But the incentives wouldn't be paid until after the season and if he didn't reach them don't we get a credit or something?  

As for trades if you are the Panthers folks aren't coming here in droves as free agents unless we overpay. So by trading for them you make sure you get your guy at a price which is known and can be restructured for cap help. The best thing is you can often get a former first or second rounder for much less because the salary is attached.

How is trading for a guy who normally wouldn't come here a benefit? If he doesn't want to be here forcing them to through a trade is not a recipe for success.

I dont trust that number, he slipped or something because as you say he has a cheat code video game speed when it matters.   And his 3 cone and 10 yard split times were outstanding

Dude is quick as hell and is running away from people.  The play at :34, 3:13, 4:01 sheeettttt

      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.
