    why/how in the hell Edmunds still isn’t signed? Aren’t these first round contracts basically pre-determined based on the spot they were drafted at???

    Guaranteed money and/or the offset language in the contract. That is what I am gathering thus far.


    If a rookie gets cut by his third year, the team does not have to pay a portion or even all of of the salary (i.e. Terrell's being 500k for example).


    If it is not the offset language then it is likely how much Edmumds wants guaranteed up front. Joey Bosa had a scenario where much of this year's salary he was going to make got converted into 2017's.

    There should be no gray area for 1st rounders ‍:facepalm:

    Sadly there is.


    Even now as we speak, some of the top ten picks this year are still unsigned.


    Coincidentally enough, indirectly thank Joey Bosa for that.

    Damn, didn't realize he hadn't signed. Crazy, you wouldn't think a late slot would be subject to much negotiation..... especially for a guy that didn't show up on many draft boards until the 2nd or 3rd round. Maybe it's a jealousy thing with his little bro?

    He's probably trying to get a 4th year salary guarantee, good luck with that if you get picked 27th or later:

    Making the top 20 means four years of security

    Agents thus far have been able to negotiate fully-guaranteed contracts for all of the top 20 picks in the draft. But after No. 20, the fourth-year guarantees begin to slide, typically with the 27th pick being the first position to get no fourth-year salary guarantee.

    While most first-rounders do not get released, a few have failed to collect that fourth-year salary because of the lack of a guarantee.

    Coincidentally, he is using the same people that assisted Joey Bosa; CAA.

    This draft? All of them?


    The likes of Baker Mayfield, Denzel Ward and RoQuan Smith would state otherwise.

    All sources say he was likely a 3rd-5th round guy, not 2nd, and certainly not 1st.

    Considering he wasnt a consensus first round pick you would think he would have been the first to sign considering how lucky he was to even be a first rounder, if he is going to start out being a pain in the ass on contract issues then wear his ass out in camp, it's not like he is top rookie starting material.
