Darin Gantt with some interesting info, re: Clausen's bonus

@daringantt It's been reported that Clausen has a $923k roster bonus coming up this month. Not the case. Stay with me, gets a little complicated.

@daringantt The 923k was a "one-time" bonus that he'd have triggered by hitting certain performance and play-time benchmarks. He didn't.

@daringantt Now, that might not change Jimmy's ultimate future here. But the idea he's about to be cut any moment now because of the bonus isn't right.

@daringantt I may be as wrong as wrong about this, but I think the kid has at least some value. Maybe you trade him, maybe he gets cut anyway.

@daringantt That's a long way of saying, Jimmy might still get traded/cut. But it won't be because of a bonus due this month, because there's not one.

    • He's not going to get fired, if anything happens and it's mostly a certainity at this point, he will be allowed to resign or move into a different role with the program. 
    • Don't think it hurts that much. IMO, not much of a dropoff from somebody like Gipson compared to Rozeboom. Regardless, I still think we are looking at an ILB in the first 3 rounds. There are quite a few interesting prospects between Rodriguez, Golday, and Hill Jr. that would be good 2nd round picks if they make it to us (Rodriguez might be a stretch since it seems like teams are falling in love with him). Kyle Louis and Lawson are worth a look also in the 3rd
    • I think that is the first goal of pretty much every team. No one seeks to make it in via WC, in August anyway. You take what you can get, but you always set out to win your division.  People look around at their division foes and say okay we can probably expect strong rushing attacks. So we’ll need a stout run D. Mandatory. Etc. We drafted TD basically to spy on Vick. We could do nothing with him up until then. It kind of helped but they were still putting it on us too often for a while. You have to match up to your division.
