He was a man in his day.  I do not think you release a guy like that unless you are sure he is done.  I think we should look for people who are just victims of the numbers game.  People who teams are  trying to stash on the PS.  The way we landed Matt Moore.

Um, Seahawks secondary is STACKED, all of their backups could start on other teams. They just chose to go with their younger guys

I agree and hopefully that numbers game is on the offensive line preferably from a strong line like the 49ers or Texans

He is a 36-year old 5-9 CB.  Do you really think that is what we need here?  I see us needing a S more.

 

When you bring in a player like that, he starts or is cut.  Here, we are developing young CB talent.   If he plays, then one of our young guys does not develop.  He will get picked up by some team and probably have a fair year--but I would rather develop our potential here than trying to squeeze a few highlights out of a middle-aged veteran.

      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.
