On top of the 2ns round issue, if you check the history of BJs agents, they are notorious for having picks signed later... usually some time in July.Second-round signings bog down over push for greater guarantees
The periodic argument that all players should have fully-guaranteed contract overlooks the reality that more and more draft picks have been getting more and more fully-guaranteed money at signing.
“I’m not worried at all,” Ossenfort added, as to the effort to sign Ojulari. “That’s going to take care of itself.”
It always does. But something will have to give. As of last week, only nine of the second-round picks have been signed this year — fewer than 30 percent of the class. In contrast, 18 of 31 first-rounders are signed, and 35 of 39 third-rounders have agreed to terms. In all, 199 of 259 picks had been officially signed as of June 7.
The CBA, as of 2011, limits the topics for negotiation in rookie contracts. The biggest sticking points usually the amount of the guarantee at signing, the timing of the payment of any signing bonuses, and the language regarding the potential voiding of future guarantees.
And this is an area that is susceptible to potential collusion by the teams. The players and their agents can coordinate their efforts. The teams cannot. If there’s ever evidence that they are, that can be a problem.
9 of them are done
Be proactive Ossie and get this done sooner than later
Then it's even more of a challenge for Ossie to get this done and show the league that he belongs and knows what he's doing
I liked him out of Iowa. Was a size/speed prospect with limited production.
I think about this a lot. What would you wear? I've been going visor because I'm not afraid of sunscreen. I liked Kliff's straw hat. Really hard to think of anyone who looks good or serious in a bucket hat.
It's hard for Iowa receivers to really showcase their talent. Hopefully he surprises and takes advantage of the opportunity in AZ.
The DaKine surf hat. It rocks. It’s light, breathable, stays on rock solid, the brim won’t flop. It’s amazing.
Yep, hard to beat those. Leslie’s!
Competition is light so he will have an opportunity. I will say it again. I won't be shocked to see Moore at RB.
He could be special in that position, but can he take the hits?
