RPbillsfan Posted June 14, 2018 Share Posted June 14, 2018 I am thinking now that the OTA's and mini-camp is over, when will we read about the signing of Josh Allen. Are the Bills considering adding any players before training camp? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tumaro02 Posted June 14, 2018 Share Posted June 14, 2018 Josh Allen's contract will be mostly or fully guaranteed. That will be about $23 million. Because it will be guaranteed the Bills will have to put that money in escrow by rule. Since he won't report to camp for 6 weeks it is likely he will sign the contract just prior to training camp. 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s slotted so they pretty much know what the numbers are. I’d want my money sooner than later. If I got hit by a bus or an asteroid I’d want that money locked up. Maybe that’s just me..... Not a huge deal, but that’s what makes sense to me. Any insurance is not likely to be for 100%. . Edited June 14, 2018 by Augie 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SNICE Posted June 15, 2018 Share Posted June 15, 2018 I believe the only top 10 picks signed are #6 (Nelson) and #10 (Rosen). Doesn’t appear anyone is in a hurry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

K-9 Posted June 15, 2018 Share Posted June 15, 2018 When I look at the Spotrac estimates for the various players still unsigned which includes both QBs taken before him, as well as those that are signed already, I might give pause if I were Allen. Not saying he will or even that he should and I know rookie contracts are slotted, but there is considerable drop off between him and the other QBs and both Chubb and Nelson signed for decent chunks more than what his estimated contract value will be. And Nelson, being a guard, was selected just one spot before and he's at $2.5m more. I might wonder about that as a rookie QB compared to a rookie guard selected just one spot ahead of me. $2.5m is nothing to sneeze at. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tatonka68 Posted June 15, 2018 Share Posted June 15, 2018 Josh Allen comes from a small farming town in California, he is probably asking for a few head of cattle and new tractor in the contract and Bills were confused. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blacklabel Posted June 15, 2018 Share Posted June 15, 2018 A lot of first round contracts get done during the time off after minicamps and before training camp, sometimes a couple weeks into camp. It used to be teams would wait it out to see what kinds of deals players that were drafted within 2-3 picks of their guy were getting before working out a contract just to see how the money works out. But now with the wage scale, the parameters are already set... but what I'm not sure on is the guaranteed money. Is that something that can still fluctuate depending on where a player was drafted? Or is the guaranteed amount already set as well? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or is the guaranteed amount already set as well? The guaranteed money is preset depending on the pick #. Top 21 picks are fully guaranteed. The 2 main negotiation points are when the actual guaranteed money is paid (Bosa issue) and offset clauses. Offsets are only used when a player is released and signs with another team. The old team may want some unused signing bonus paid back by the new team. Like I said, the main point is when the player actually gets the money paid (cash in hand). 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most players who are more than UDFAs get insurance contracts but sooner he signs, the shorter the period he needs to sign insurance for hence lower the cost. Biggest issue is when a player has not signed but get injured when not under contract with activities not related to NFL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
