Redskins rookie signing thread

if it is the offset that is stopping these top draft picks from signing, that sure seems like a bizarre spot to pick a fight. I didn't really think it would drag into one day of RGIII, Luck, or any of the others missing a day, rookie report or otherwise.

I agree. I wonder if the drama isn't agent-driven. If there is nothing to fight about, there's no real reason to have an agent...so perhaps agents will pick any battle that they can find, no matter how small.

Yup, also if there is an offset clause, I would imagine if it ever is invoked that means the agent is the one really losing out, so I can see them fighting tooth and nail to keep it out.

Good point.

What about LeRibEye? Certainly he is not squabbling over offset language, is he?

The top of the 3rd round has it's equivalent squabble:

Why Are There so Many 3rd-Round NFL Draft Picks That Are Still Unsigned? | Bleacher Report

and

Numerous NFL picks drafted in third round and later not cashing in with max deals - Yahoo! Sports

Again it seems like a bit of change that the agents are fighting tooth and nail for.

I assume that once the penalties for holding out kick in these type disputes will be quickly put to rest.

That is a sticking point worth fighting for. Their wheat bread is fantastic.
