All these draft threads are making me sick. So let's talk about players with experience. I just looked, and even though the Giants probably will not let him walk (unless he is unrestricted, of course I don't know if they can slap the tag on him in this case), Terell Thomas will be a free agent this year. After coming off an ACL injury this year, he would probably sign a one year deal with his next team.

Carlos Rogers will demand big money, as well as Brent Grimes. Terrell Thomas looks to be the best corner out there who wouldn't demand this kind of money right away. We get him, we can focus on other needs on the d-line. Yet as I said, the Giants would probably re-sign him unless he has some say so about that.

we are effectively over the cap entering the offseason

we're going to have to make some cuts/restructures just to be able to sign our own draft picks

then some more just to resign our own mediocre free agents

if the guy wants more than the league minimum chances are we're not signing him

might as well make a thread about how we should draft kalil at 8th/9th overall

lol don't challenge matthias to somehow bridge this discussion with a way to get Kalil

"hey guys it's Matthias with another fantastic mock draft. In this one let's trade Wharton, Greg Hardy (again) and Chris Gamble along with our 1st round pick to Minnesota and draft Matt Kalil. This way we clear cap space to sign Mario Williams"

      I don't think it's any weird or unique clause, it's the offset language, same thing so many contract disputes are over. It just means that including it, if a player is cut and then signed by another team, the original team would be able to subtract how much they're getting paid by the new team from what they still owe him on their guaranteed money. For example, it's why Russell Wilson signed for the minimum last year with the Steelers as that was included in his Denver contract.  So if he signed with the Steelers for $1 million, he'd get $1 million less from the Broncos, if it was $2 million, he'd get $2 million less, basically he couldn't make any more money than he was already going to make, so you sign for the minimum to not take unnecessary cap room from your new team while giving extra cap room to your old one. The problem with trying to include it in rookie deals is that a team trying to include it, it says they think they don't really believe the player will make it 4 years with the team before they cut them.  And this usually comes up with one or two rookies in most seasons, the difference is it's usually handled much more quietly and not as public and ugly as this one. The other difference is that it's happening with the Bengals, which I believe I saw are one of the few (or only?) team that doesn't have protections for rookies in rookie and mini camps to be able to participate even if they haven't signed their contract yet.  The other teams have injury protections that allow them to still play, but the Bengals do not, which is also why this one is so public and ugly, as most the time this happens, the rookie is still participating in the rookie and subsequent mini camps, giving them more time to get the contract done before training camp when they'd then hold out.
