In this draft class could be depending on the recipient.  

I don't care about class value. If anything that would make our pick more valuable because we are dropping down out of the running for best players. No, the Broncos offer is not enough for me.

I'm not so sure that's how teams are looking at it.  

If it's common knowledge we're landing similar talent value at the spot in the trade down, the offers could simply be light and underwhelming.  So the question comes - does Morgan want to trade down even if its not usual value gained? Or would he prefer to stay pat and pick who would be similar value as who you get in that trade down spot?

Context trade 12 to 6 (Cardinals/Lions) from 2023:

Lions trade 1-6 & 3-81 to the Cards for 1-12, 2-34, & 5-168. 

People need to get out of their mind we're automatically getting a 2nd and future 1st in a trade down.

Trading with the Broncos does not improve our second round position which is the main goal. Without a higher second pick the trade is pointless. Forget a future 1st as it will be at the bottom of the 1st round next year.

I'd say any 2025 capital gained helps.  We already have (2) 4ths and (3) 5ths.  So whether you gain a 2nd, 3rd, 4th or 5th, you have more in the bank to package with 57 if we want to move up for a guy we want.  

And if you gain a high 2026 in the process, it's a solid move. 

Another context trade: Vikings/Lions interdivisional from 2022:

Lions sent 1-32, 2-24, & 3-66 to MIN for 1-12 & 2-46

20 spots with no future pick involved.  It was a round two swap and a 3rd added.

      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.
