I know there are a lot of us that truly belive that we are on the verge of somthing special. This is not for you folks.

For you folks that prefer to live in the past. Who still have a steadfast belief that we are who we were. Or even, Zod forbid, suck even worse, cuz, you know, we, like, did nothing to improve the D, or ST. Let me remind you of a couple of things. One, Rivera. He alone will improve our D. Second, we have made numerous changes to our starting defensive unit.

Just a recap for those that seem to need it.

The possibility we will have 5-6 new starters on D should make you salivate. With Rivera and McD at the helm, our D should improve dramatically.

We started two rookie 3rd rounders at 1 and 3 last year. This year we have two established vets. D-line= upgrade

Last year we started 8 LB. 1 was a first day starter. We have 4 Pro Bowl Caliber LB on the roster this year, all but 1 with extensive experience. LB corp = upgrade.

In the secondary. We have Norman... if all he does is kick Munny to nickle, he has made an impact.

Add in Nakimura, with his vocality, added with a year of growth. And the unit as a whole is better. So, DB = improved

Medlock made us better by replacing Mare Adams can make us better as well.

.So to recap the recap.

D-Line = improved

LB = improved

DB = improved

Throw in a couple of tons of talent in the ST department. And their are precious few remnants of those last few years of mediocrity.

If you can take all that in, and still not be enthused?

The rest of us? We are giddy with anticapation, or at least I am. And GOOOO CATS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

As an aside; For Mr. Touchdown. Ouch, that hurt.

They gotta bring in another CB or I'm going to want to super kick Marty.

Jones at the CO said Edwards and the gunner we got from the 9ers are the final tweaks to the roster.

Like I said in another thread, I heard Dre Bly on WFNZ last week. If the Panthers brought him today he would be the second best corner on the team. Still scratching my head about that Stanford release.

I know Vontae Davis is a little bitch and hasn't had very pleasant interactions with 89, but I would have traded a second for him.

I get it that the team likes Norman but he's obviously going to get picked on by the QBs.

We still only have for CB on the roster right?

      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.
