I love how the media cried and cried about getting locked out, and the second they get in all I've read about is Cam's meeting with Obama, Cam's jersey number, Cam flipping tires, Cam catching punts, and Cam + Steve Smith.

Not a single thing on:

Practice drills

Who is in shape and who is not

Who impressed who didn't (albeit not a formal practice)

Etc. Etc. Etc.

Anyone make it out that has something meaningful to report?

they weren't allowed to stay around for the whole thing. they were there for position drills, but then had to leave for actual work.

wasn't really a whole lot to talk about....of course they did say they wanted to talk about all those things when it got right down to it, all they wanted to do was take pictures of newton and talk to him.

Fair enough. But if the media is wondering why they were locked out they have answered their own question based on today's reporting. If they weren't planning on reporting on the first real football that anyone has seen in months... then they should not be surprised that the Panthers didn't want them there in the first place.

Now back to your regularly scheduled TMZ sports reporting...

If only there was some sporting title game for them to overly dissect and to lay blame on some superstar?

Oh well, let's just complain about not getting to bother the last place team from last year while the players spend their own money trying to get better while there is a work stoppage..

Quick I hear there's a kids birthday party we weren't invited to, get someone on that. Stake out the sidewalk and shout questions about the cake at the guests as they leave..

      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.
