DesperateDerelict Posted July 27, 2007 Report Share Posted July 27, 2007 There it is then. That slot should be pretty effin' obvious...Actually, there is speculation (I heard it on the radio) that Brady Quinn's (pick #22) agent (Tom Condon) is coming up with some unique parameters in the contract, and other agents don't want to have their 1st rounders sign for disadvantageous (big word!) terms. That would impact their future top prospect recruiting.If that's the case, it might be awhile. Brady's Holdout May Be A Long One Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HoosierCat Posted July 27, 2007 Report Share Posted July 27, 2007 Hall's agent said (I believe in one of Hobson's pieces) that he wasn't looking at the Brady Quinn situation as a problem. So at this point there's no reason, money-wise, for this to go on much longer. The general "slot" is there. With all the other picks in or nearly in, the money left in the rookie pool is what it is. I expect that it will come down to incentive and escalator language, as usual, and when Hall gets in depends on how much of a hard case each side wants to be.

membengal Posted July 27, 2007 Report Share Posted July 27, 2007 Glad Hall's agent is on-point with that. Quinn is a unique problem, and no reason his presence at #22 overall as a qb who plummeted should affect the others near that slot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redsbengalsbucks Posted July 27, 2007 Report Share Posted July 27, 2007 I will admit that I am no fan of Quinn's up front.Why does he or his agent believe he deserves more money than what any other player drafted at #22 would have gotten?All in all, hopefully he breaks the bank and is a total bust, as I believe is very possible keeping the Stains right were they belong for many more seasons.

It sounds to me like a ploy to save face in spite of the fact he fell farther than anyone thought. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kazkal Posted July 28, 2007 Report Share Posted July 28, 2007 Griffin is signed time to get hall in camp. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HoosierCat Posted July 28, 2007 Report Share Posted July 28, 2007 Per nfl.com, picks 15, 16, 19, 20 and 21 are signed. The only guy around Hall (18) who isn't inked is Jarvis Moss at 17. So hopefully this gets done soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kurgan74 Posted July 28, 2007 Author Report Share Posted July 28, 2007 Why does he or his agent believe he deserves more money than what any other player drafted at #22 would have gotten?-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Condon is trying to Quinn a whole lot more coin based on the idea some teams had Quinn as the number 1 quarterbackand a likely top 3 pick. Unless the Browns front office is stupid, there is no way they will pay top 3 money to the 22ndpick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
