Really what were his options with the new c-b in place.
CIN's 2nd #3, unsigned Clemson DT Brandon Thompson is a different matter. I wouldn't be at all surprised if an agency floats him a "personal services" contract to tide him over until CIN's rights expire.
They expended their #2 on yet another in the long line of fart PSU DLs - a moody child named Devon Still.Last edited by stuckincincy; 07-09-2012, 03:09 PM.Fiat justitia ruat caelum. Noli timere. Laus Deo.

I like to read comments about other teams, from folks that live there. The "inside" viewpoint, so to speak. If you were to put forth info on TB, I would be sure to read it.Last edited by stuckincincy; 07-10-2012, 07:24 AM.Fiat justitia ruat caelum. Noli timere. Laus Deo.

I'm the most reasonable poster here. If you don't agree, I'll be forced to have a hissy fit.

Re: TJ Graham signed
Originally posted by TigerJ View PostAs I understand it, Graham is the first of the top 12 third rounders to sign. It seems there is a bit of a quirk relating to the third round under the new CBA. Last year some agents, eager to get their cut, got their clients to sign contracts at the top of the third round that were cheaper than later third round deals turned out. Well, this year's rookie pay scale was based somewhat on last year's, so teams have been offering low ball contracts again to the top 12 picks in the third round compared to what picks later in the third round have been getting. Agents are holding out trying to get contracts in line with what players in the bottom two thirds of the third round are getting. Graham, to his credit, wanted to sign so he could come in and prepare for training camp. He probably signed a deal that is favorable to the Bills.
Who wants to go through the details, but is sure seems that the new CBA and the salary slotting for 3rd rounders is an item of contention.
Ah well...the machinations of Kings, Popes, and incipient 21 year-old multimillionaires isn't something to dwell on.Last edited by stuckincincy; 07-10-2012, 11:17 AM.Fiat justitia ruat caelum. Noli timere. Laus Deo.
