Who are the keepers on defense?

It is possible McClain and Fua can be solid starters in the future. IMHO our biggest question mark right now for the long term is OLB. We were planning on Davis being here for a while, and it doesn't look like that will be the case. Still could use a DT and CB also.

Sherrod Martin, and Captain are the only starters I would like to see replaced. I like Sherrod as a cover safety, but the guy doesn't like contact at all.

Our rookie DT's will be good to go under a NFL weight program, so I'm not worried about them. The only other need on Defense is the Will LB position.

If we can't get Matt Kalil in the draft, I think OLB should be our first pick.

I'd like to move Martin to CB and get a true FS, draft OLB in the first. With Edwards back and a full offseason I think we'd be far better on D then.

Zack Brown from UNC, possibly trade down to get him cause he's projected to be a late-mid first rounder.

He's the guy I want, his value could rise before the draft depending on so many variables and I don't really buy into "reaching" thing.

Yeah he's rated the top OLB, in this year's draft so he could be a top 15 pick, I really like this guy great instincts, and awareness. We can't depend on Davis anymore really sad to see get injured again, but we have to move on.

      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.
