I don't think they are talking contracts. but the new cba doesn't really give an exact amount. Just gives parameters. There will be negotiating

Geno,Geno who can I turn to?

One things FOR SURE...if we aren't gonna take Geno, we better trade the pick to a team that's outside of the AFCW...Geno wants to be the top pick so bad that if he goes to Oakland, he is gonna want to destroy us twice a year.

Reighters says they are fine with Pryor

The only thing in place is the basic compensation framework.

You still have to negotiate base salary, guaranteed money, signing bonus, other incentives, and any special clauses that are to be included.

They CAN do that but Goodell is trying to get teams to stop. It ruins the drama of Thursday night PRIME TIME.

The whole contract is guaranteed, isnt it?

Link to the interview up yet?

No. Base salary is never guaranteed.

5) Justin Blackmon
8/6/2012: Signed a four-year, $18.5 million contract. The deal is fully guaranteed -- unless Blackmon gets suspended -- and includes a $7.11 million signing bonus. Future guarantees can void if Blackmon incurs further off-the-field trouble. 2013: $1,231,455 (+ $700,000 roster bonus due in March + $1 million roster bonus due before training camp), 2014: $2,072,910 (+ $1.7 million roster bonus due in March), 2015: $2,914,365 (+ $1.39 million roster bonus due in March), 2016: Free Agent

Hmmm...learn something new every day.

However, as you can see from Blackmon's contract, there are still plenty of negotiating points.

Is the implication here that these guys, for all intents and purposes, can't be cut before the end of their rookie contract (obviously, the can be but the cap ramifications are kind of harsh)?

So when will we be having Joeckel and/or Star on one of these shows?
