He was apparently moonlighting as a Harvard Grad student and is closing out his degree in just under 3 months. Just gotta tie up a few loose ends and MAYBE he'll sign.

Sigmund Bloom -BR (older article but I think it is the same now) "the dispute stems from the "25 percent rule" per Pasquarelli. That is the rule that allows teams to give rookies raises of up to 25 percent of the combined total of their rookie salary and one-quarter of their signing bonus. Pasquarelli ran the numbers for the first pick of the third round, Indianapolis tight end Dwayne Allen. He needs to check his math, but the difference between giving Allen the minimum salaries and giving him the full 25 percent raise is less than four hundred thousand dollars over the life of the contract. " "What makes this more baffling is that most, if not all of that money is not guaranteed. The difference between the minimum raise and a 25 percent raise is irrelevant if the player is cut before his contract is over. Likewise, if the player becomes quality depth or a starter, the difference in the amount of raise becomes irrelevant because they are playing at a massive discount either way."

Seems this year they are focusing on those 3rd round picks.

ExWNYer Posted May 25, 2019 Posted May 25, 2019 Some guys want 'JR' or 'III' added after their last name on the jersey. Knox's agent apparently wants 'FT' added before Dawson's last name... ?

Knox is scheduled to make a total of $3,399,480 as pick #96. If you go to the Spotrac site you will see that picks later in the round have signed for more than that. Grier at pick #100 is getting $3,852,996. They'll get it worked out. 1 1

Owners Players Union etc etc..... If a minute small variable negotiation position that these 3rd rounders apparently have, can lead to protracted negotiations like some 3rd rounders have now.....imagine if it was the old way with all draftees with no rookie salary cap. No one would sign before camp, and many would hold out into season. FO man hours by teams wasted chasing this ***** would be epic in today's negotiation climate and they can now have those FO staffers doing something more needed. Edited May 25, 2019 by cba fan
