Fuckin idjits.

30 second-round picks are unsigned after top two got fully guaranteed contracts

The agents for the 33rd and 34th picks negotiated guaranteed deals for their clients, and now there's a standoff with the other picks in the second round.

Yep. Not good.

If teams start trading their second-round picks, at less than draft chart rates, in order to avoid the guaranteed contracts, there could be some good discounts for shrewd GMs.

Buying opportunities for Les, incoming (maybe)

Fucking Cleveland Browns ruin everything! Football contracts, factories, sadness, fanbases; hell, I wouldn't be surprised if they assassinated John F. Kennedy!

I have seldom found myself in the role of a “defender” in relation to the Browns. However, in this instance at least, I can’t see how they are anymore responsible than the Texicans.

They had the first pick in the second round. They controlled the rights to their pick. They didn't have to make the contract fully guaranteed.

It's not a big deal with teams like us; we're solid when it comes to picks for the most part, but with other teams likely spending a good portion of their cap on players who may be busts? That's a problem. They opened Pandora's Box when they had all of the leverage to not do that.

This may have a ripple effect, but the Rams usually sign their guys later on. Though last season they were finished by May 28th.


Avila's contract isn't too far off. 3 full years and 10% of the 4th season.
