How can any rookie hold out when the parameters of rookies pay is already set? Shouldn't every rookie be signed and in already?

 

[PJ1]

Thought these contracts were no brainers. He will miss the start of camp?

For a rookie to miss even one day under this new CBA is just straight up ridiculous. Doesnt even matter that its only been a shortened crazy week.

If all 8 picks are not on the field 3 o'clock tomorrow, which could still easily happen, then I just got nothing else to say.

Rod Graves isn't really the "multi-tasking" type of GM.

You can't help but be somewhat upset that there isn't any progress to report though. There are teams who already have all of their picks signed already. Even Denver signed #2 overall.

saw somewhere Von Miller signed with Broncos...don't know about other top 10s

This seems like something a temp could handle. Dummies.

Joe, are they basically a sign and go contract? I mean is there much (if any) negotiation involved?

OP needed to make 2 threads to complain about this?

 

[BigRedRage]

The only negotiating that needs to happen is how much of the 4 year deal will be gauranteed.

For example, Cam Newtons deal will most likely be 100% gauranteed.

So that should take..what? All of about 7 minutes? Oh wait...it's Graves! Nevermind lol

This is a pen.

This is a contract.

This is where you sign.

See, that wasn't so bad.

(Not getting the rookies signed is tantamount to "screwing up ice cream."

 

[CtCardinals78]

Marcel Darius is now signed...

I agree, but lets not hand wring over this to much until 3 pm tomorrow. Could still easily get done sometime today and all could get physicals tomorrow morning and still be in camp on time.

Is there any kind of deadline like that for today, Friday? I thought free agents could be announced today.

 

[BigRedRage]

free agents can be at 3pm today.

draft picks can sign and play now, FA cannot. Horrid.
