Training camps will be opening soon. Before 2011, that meant most teams engaging in a game of beat the clock with most of their draft picks.<\/p>\n
Nowadays, most contracts are signed by Memorial Day weekend.<\/p>\n
This year, there are four notable exceptions. They are the first four quarterbacks taken in the draft: Raiders quarterback Fernando Mendoza (first overall), Rams quarterback Ty Simpson (13th overall), Cardinals quarterback Carson Beck (third round, 65th overall), and Steelers quarterback Drew Allar (third round, 76th overall).<\/p>\n
There\u2019s not much to negotiate. The dollars are set by a formula based on the draft slot. Pressure points in the past have related to signing bonus cash flow, voiding of guarantees, and offsets on guarantees. <\/p>\n
Surely, all of the deals will get done. Rookie holdouts are now very rare. <\/p>\n
But no deal is done until it\u2019s done. And it\u2019s getting a little glaring for the first four quarterbacks taken in the draft.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Training camps will be opening soon.
