Greg Olsen has not been impressive this year.

It may be a combination of his play, the plays called for him, and Cam but I there is something missing from that position. He's the best TE we have had since Walls and his play is similiar....it's just the NFL is different now than it was back in the 90's.

Your expecting to much. The guy is not a Vernon Davis, Jimmy Graham type player who can make up for a #2. We have Smith and that's it. He should be the #3 guy but he is having to be the #2 guy for Cam due to lack of the WR dept.

It has something to do with him falling like he got sniped with a 50 cal whenever anyone touches him in the slightest....

 

He has little to no athletic ability and is slow to boot.

 

He's not a bad TE for what he is supposed to be but not a world beater...just a solid TE.

He's not been bad but he should never catch screen passes since I don't remember him ever breaking a tackle and that's kind of important on those types of plays. Also he makes for a poor outlet/dump off guy as well unless he catches the ball beyond the first down marker. Guy has the lower body strength of a 12 year old. He is deadly running those out routes to the sideline however.

Little to no athletic ability. Not sure if serious.

      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.
