not a bad deal for either party.

i don't think there are many, if any, 2nd rounders that have signed. they are all waiting for someone to set the bar.

that clausen hasn't signed yet shouldn't be something that anyone worries about.

Exactly.In my opinion it will not be long before Clausen signs.

[Anybodyhome]

So, he averages $446k per year ($2.6M less the $814k bonus) and the Panthers pay him $1.34M of a $1.78M contract when there's a lockout in 2011.

Clausen's agent is leveraging the fact that Clausen might become a franchise QB and therefore expects more money than a typical second rounder would. Can't blame him, but he better get signed before camp!

Great, the Michael Crabtree syndrome...

I might become the next friggin' Bill Gates, too. Doesn't mean I can demand a few mil pay raise now, does it?

[eViL jEsTeR]

it would be stupid for him to think he could hold out. we'd simply go to camp with moore, cantwell and pike. this would give pike time to earn the #3 instead of being the practice squad QB.

[BlackCatFan]

I wouldn't be suprised if Clausen was the first 2nd rounder signed.

How often do you hear of 2nd round draft picks holding out, regardless of position?

We had one several years ago. The guy was a G/C prospect and blew out his hip in his second seson. I'm racking my brain trying to think of this guy...

Bruce Nelson? That's the only 2nd round O-lineman I can think of.

Bingo! You beat me to it. I had to cheat and look it up. He held out the first several practices. The point being, he had the balls to hold out as a second round pick on the O-line.

Brandon LaFell is going to be a good receiver.

[CatMan72]

That's one of the few good things about not having a 1st round pick... no holdout drama
