Janoris Jenkins has trouble signing deal.

Janoris Jenkins, the talented but troubled cornerback selected by the St. Louis Rams in the second round of the NFL draft, still hasn’t signed a contract. And a major hurdle will have to be cleared before he does.

Jason Cole of Yahoo Sports, who previously reported that the Rams and Jenkins weren’t seeing eye to eye over Jenkins’ failure to hire a financial adviser whom the Rams thought he needed, now reports that there’s another issue between the Rams and Jenkins: The Rams have proposed splitting Jenkins’ $3 million signing bonus into four annual payments of $750,000. That way, if Jenkins’ off-field problems surface again, the Rams can cut ties with him and only be on the hook for the amount they’ve already paid.

Unsurprisingly, Jenkins’ agent Malik Shareef is not on board with that idea. Jenkins wants his whole signing bonus to be paid upfront, as is ordinarily the case with a signing bonus.

Cole compares the Jenkins situation with the negotiations between the Patriots and tight end Aaron Hernandez after they drafted him in 2010. Hernandez also had some off-field red flags, so the Patriots made a deal with him: Take less upfront money than a player drafted at your slot would ordinarily get, and we’ll make it up to you with a contract that has a greater total value. Hernandez accepted that offer and it worked out well for him: He has played well on the field and avoided trouble off the field and will likely end up with more money over the course of his entire rookie contract.

But the deal the Rams are apparently offering Jenkins isn’t just a little less money upfront. It’s a lot less. And any agent would balk at that.

If things really come to a head, it could set up a game of chicken between the Rams and Jenkins. Would the Rams blink first, not wanting to waste a second-round draft pick if Jenkins simply refuses to go along with the contract the Rams are offering? Or would Jenkins blink first, not wanting to have to sit out the entire year and then re-enter the 2013 NFL draft, when there’s no guarantee that he’d go any higher than he did this year?

Although the rookie wage scale in the new Collective Bargaining Agreement has made lengthy rookie holdouts largely a thing of the past, the Jenkins situation bears watching, and could drag out for a while.

I am not a Janoris Jenkins fan but this is a joke. If you draft someone in the second round you pay him like all the other second round guys. If you have character concerns then you wait and see if he is still available in the 3rd. These guys already have almost no negotiating power on rookie deals, you can't strong arm them into accepting your terms.

Trouble follows this dude around.

Look, let me break it down for some of you:

Dude has 4 baby mommas and 5 kids. He's going to need money.

Half of his contract is going to the baby mommas and kids. I'm sure the mothers will spend it correctly by purchasing some new rims for her car or buying a new pair of Jordans every month when that paycheck comes. These hood rat bitches hit the lottery. They got knocked up by an athlete which they have probably been dreaming about since they started their period.

The fact that the Rams are trying to pro-rate his contract and hook him up with a financial adviser is even more evidence he's immature and irresponsible.

Once he pays his baby mommas, buys a car/house and hooks his mom and friends up, he's going to be broke again. And that's when the BS will start.

Glad the panthers passed on him. Not worth the hassle. I can promise you Fisher will have a few extra grey hairs in his mullet because of Jenkins this season.

Nothing about my post was racist. I think one of his kids mom is white, btw.

I guess that makes the Rams organization racist as well since they are weary of investing a ton of money in this dude.

[Jackofalltrades]

You're right, the racism was purely a figment of my imagination.

Yes they can.

It's not strong arming.............it's called "covering your ass"

[KendrickPanther]

If you want to cover your ass then don't draft a problem child in the 2nd round. When you draft him you are signing up for the baggage. You can't hold his money hostage.

[2jakefansinva]

yes you can.

[rico6]

Wow, the Rams are dbags for this move. Why not do that bullshit for every pick that you believe has a chance to bust/fug up

Janoris doesn't deserve this.
