Round 4 (136): Cordell Volson, OT, ND State

[Wraith]

Did I miss it, did Volson sign his rookie deal?

[membengal]

I believe he is still to sign.

[membengal]

75% of the 4th round hasn’t signed. Blame the Texans. Volson hasn’t missed a thing in OTAs…

thats just sad, but yes, Volson hasnt let any of that prevent any participation

but this sets an unfortunate precedent that could affect signings in future years, and not just 4th rounders......any player in any round could make the same "yes, you have to pay me x as bare minimum, but you can opt to pay me x plus y"

hopefully the other teams hold their ground - no other way to stop this nonsense. 

If even one of them give in, rookie signing hell awaits for all teams starting next year

[membengal]

It happens every so often. There are not ripples from them when they happen.

[COB]

The Texans, it would be them.

Volson was No. 2 in performance based pay last year. Note that’s more than his base salary ($705k) for 2022.

I still really like this kid.
His grade stats don't bear out, but he's going to be better in 2023.

It always amazes me that despite late round guys needing time to grow into their game, that this kid gets hate despite beating out our 2nd round pick and then proceeding to start (I think) every game at LG in 2022 as a rookie.  It's not like he got his college playing time in the SEC either.  He went to Mother Mary of the Blind or some shit.  Their championship game was against the Boys of Bismarck Choir if I'm not mistaken.  Good for him !!

[TJJackson]

No hate from me

Love me some Volsen.......and I have eaten the big plate of crow for hating him as a draft pick

[GapControl]

If Volson starts and plays as well again this year, we are going to be challenging for more championships again.
