Emmanwori signs

[HawkRiderFan]

Honestly I came here to see the reaction and was surprised not to see a thread on it. Wow, fully guaranteed.

It's a good thing.

Was coming to post this as well but for some reason I can’t create new posts… “insufficient privileges” anyone know anything about that?

Anyway - glad this is done extremely early in camp!

Last year's 35th overall pick had 92% of his contract fully guaranteed.

Other than 8%, what's the difference between 92% and 100% fully guaranteed.

There is some kind of rule about new posters needing to have a certain number of posts before they can initiate a thread. At the moment I cannot recall the exact details. Maybe 100 posts or something like that. Just carry on with what you have been doing and soon enough your privileges will all be uncorked.

100% compensation guaranteed...for a player that will probably 3-4 positions under MM

If you don't prioritize our desperate need for Zabel, or the amazing athleticism for Milroe, this is almost certain to be the most important signing we have made in quite awhile. I really believe Emmanwori can be a game changing talent.

I’m glad the deal is done. His talent level he’s probably worth his 4 year price annually anyway. Now we don’t have to worry about him losing any important practice time.

Did he really take #3? Bold...

Well now they will have to give a fully burdened contract to Arroyo. I wouldn’t have given it. So if he sucks then what. 4 years we have to deal with him. Can’t release him. Most second round picks are busts. He is big and fast. Doesn’t mean he’s the next Kam.

Thank you. I can't believe anyone thinks giving a fully guaranteed contract to anyone in pro football is a good idea. I mean, really? Do any of you guys even watch football?

 

[glenwo2]

Well alrighty then.

tbh, I view Emmanwori as First-round talent so him getting a Fully-Guaranteed deal is a no-brainer, imo.

Unfortunately, as someone who went through this, I can say that back when I went way past the 100 post mark, I still didn't get "privileges" until I contacted AROS.

BTW, if you want a tweet to be shown here, simply replace the "x" in x.com with "twitter" and it will show up.

We don't live in a vacuum. The #33 and #34 picks this year got fully guaranteed contracts. Last year's #35 pick got 92% guaranteed. The 49ers just set the sliding scale at #43 by guaranteeing 88%. But I guess we could have decided to be the Bengals instead, though...

It's a good thing.

It is, but I am a little surprised they caved...not to save money per se, but on principle...

That is one of the things I really like about him. Signed or not he made certain he didn't miss out on anything, including taking advantage of Coaches revolving door. He and Spoon together on the same team is an awesome development.

I think the dominos were set to fall anyways. Second round picks will now all be fully guaranteed, I believe.
