baskingridgebillsfan Posted July 21, 2018 Posted July 21, 2018 The Allen contract thing could be a story if he still is not signed a few days from now I can't understand why both sides would want to drag this out. Both sides wow where did i hear that before .

ColdFront_USAF Posted July 22, 2018 Posted July 22, 2018 Here's an article I found explaining what offset language is, if you're like me and had no idea what that meant. In short, offset language means if a player is cut during his rookie contract, and his new team signs him equal to or greater than what his salary would have been, the team that drafted him doesn't have to pay him anything. Without it, the team that drafted him is required to still pay him that money he was owed while he plays for another team, allowing for double dipping. So teams like it, players don't, hence the disagreement.

I hear all of our draft picks are studying the playbook with Brady @ the TB12 facility in Foxborough. Very trollish. Lost them so bad they made the playoffs

OldTimeAFLGuy Posted July 22, 2018 Posted July 22, 2018 ....well #2 has now signed........... Giants signed No. 2 overall pick Saquon Barkley to a four-year, $31.2 million contract, including a $20.76 million signing bonus. The deal is fully guaranteed, includes a fifth-year club option, and pays Barkley $15 million at time of signing. Barkley is the highest running back drafted since Reggie Bush and Ronnie Brown went No. 2 in back-to-back years in 2006 and 2005, respectively. Barkley's rookie-year workload projection is one of the highest in the NFL. He warrants first-round selection in re-draft leagues. Source: Ian Rapoport on Twitter Jul 22 - 3:11 PM

Yeah, I don't have a ton of sympathy for guys complaining about not being able to potentially double-dip if they end up on another team. Offset should be standard in rookie deals.
