None of the QBs had signed till now signing over the last day or two. They were just all vying for the best contractual terms, the NFL PAs try’s to get them to push for more guarantees, alterations to the rookie pay scale every year so Carson agent wouldn’t sign until the other QBs did, till pick 64 right in front of Carson signed etc. it’s just a game, everyone trying to maximize dollars and favorable guarantees, contractual terms for things like fines, missed OTAs, etc.
I hope Beck balls out. That’d be tremendous if he beats out Brissett n takes his job after he held out all off season .
Kind of interesting that Beck, a 3rd round pick, took until now to sign when the NFL salary scale for draftees by round (and position in round) is pretty narrow. Maybe they were haggling over signing bonus? Or maybe the Cards were negotiating to have his ample arm tats removed? :-D
