Jay_Fixit Posted June 15, 2018 Posted June 15, 2018 He’s secretly signed it already. He just wants to see how many threads get created on TBD before the season starts.
SNICE Posted June 15, 2018 Posted June 15, 2018 I believe the only top 10 picks signed are #6 (Nelson) and #10 (Rosen). Doesn’t appear anyone is in a hurry.

K-9 Posted June 15, 2018 Posted June 15, 2018 When I look at the Spotrac estimates for the various players still unsigned which includes both QBs taken before him, as well as those that are signed already, I might give pause if I were Allen. Not saying he will or even that he should and I know rookie contracts are slotted, but there is considerable drop off between him and the other QBs and both Chubb and Nelson signed for decent chunks more than what his estimated contract value will be. And Nelson, being a guard, was selected just one spot before and he's at $2.5m more. I might wonder about that as a rookie QB compared to a rookie guard selected just one spot ahead of me. $2.5m is nothing to sneeze at.
LeGOATski Posted June 15, 2018 Posted June 15, 2018 He's being courted by the XFL right now. They've promised him that he can have "Troubled Son" on the back of his jersey. 1

Are the Bills considering adding any players before training camp? We have one roster spot open, yet it doesn't mean we might cut a few guys and replace them with others. I would hope they try and add a veteran WR to compete for the #2/3 spot.
Tatonka68 Posted June 15, 2018 Posted June 15, 2018 Josh Allen comes from a small farming town in California, he is probably asking for a few head of cattle and new tractor in the contract and Bills were confused.

blacklabel Posted June 15, 2018 Posted June 15, 2018 A lot of first round contracts get done during the time off after minicamps and before training camp, sometimes a couple weeks into camp. It used to be teams would wait it out to see what kinds of deals players that were drafted within 2-3 picks of their guy were getting before working out a contract just to see how the money works out. But now with the wage scale, the parameters are already set... but what I'm not sure on is the guaranteed money. Is that something that can still fluctuate depending on where a player was drafted? Or is the guaranteed amount already set as well?
Buffalo_Stampede Posted June 15, 2018 Posted June 15, 2018 Probably a couple weeks into July. Nothing really to worry about, It'll get done before camp.

Or is the guaranteed amount already set as well? The guaranteed money is preset depending on the pick #. Top 21 picks are fully guaranteed. The 2 main negotiation points are when the actual guaranteed money is paid (Bosa issue) and offset clauses. Offsets are only used when a player is released and signs with another team. The old team may want some unused signing bonus paid back by the new team. Like I said, the main point is when the player actually gets the money paid (cash in hand). 2
The Bills Blog Posted June 15, 2018 Posted June 15, 2018 Does anyone know if rookies get paid at all prior to signing their contracts? If not, how would a rookie from a poor family deal with the expenses?

MJS Posted June 16, 2018 Posted June 16, 2018 I'm sure his agent is handling all of it. It's much easier for these guys to just trust their agents and focus on football.

Most players who are more than UDFAs get insurance contracts but sooner he signs, the shorter the period he needs to sign insurance for hence lower the cost. Biggest issue is when a player has not signed but get injured when not under contract with activities not related to NFL.
