Not one player from 2012-2015 who was drafted 2-5 was asked to include offsets, now suddenly its being asked. But it couldn't be that the NFL owners are simply trying to find a new way within the current labor agreement to mitigate their risk while the player has to just suck it up and take it? That doesn't make any sense.
We agree, the idea of offsets is dumb.Only if the team and the player agree it is. The offsets are not illegal. Your argument is that it wasn't done in the past so it shouldn't be done now. To which I say it was dumb before and it's dumb now.
