i don't know. i can't blame rookies who have not signed a contract yet being worried about a fluke injury during a mini-camp. i don't know what a "standard injury waiver" covers, but even if it is the same as a slotted rookie contract, that doesn't feel the same as negotiating an actual contract. i can understand their point of view. he's participating in everything except the on-the-field stuff.

I think the injury waiver is that he goes out tears his ACL in rookie camp that the team would still go out and give him his 4 year full rookie deal without any kind of off-set to the deal.

I’m not interested in his views on money, I just don’t know if my fandom could handle a third 1st round, non-productive pass rush project

speaking of views on money, with the dolphins signing quinn ewers to his rookie contract with the only guaranteed money being his $131k signing bonus and total money over 4 year $4.3 million vs. a nil offer of $8 million for his final remaining year of eligibility. the first extreme example of how going to the nfl before your final season of college eligibility can cost you millions of dollars. he almost went undrafted (7th round pick). i honestly would have taken the $8mil to stay in college.

His agent had to say what are you stupid when he heard he was going to go pro over turning down $8 million.

He would have to change schools right? Texas was going to go with Manning
 
regarding derek carr's retirement:

Carr was due to make $40 million this season -- $30 million in base salary and a $10 million roster bonus. The Saints restructured his contract for salary cap purposes, which brought his base salary down to the league minimum and turned the rest into a signing bonus of $28.75 million, to be paid out weekly during the season. According to his contract, that signing bonus was contingent on "receiving medical clearance to practice and play." Medical scans determined that Carr, 34, had sustained a labral tear and also had significant degenerative changes to his rotator cuff, so playing in 2025 was in jeopardy. The contract also had contingencies to void the money if he retired from the NFL. According to the retirement agreement, Carr will forfeit the $30 million base salary but retain the $10 million signing bonus. If he does not file retirement papers until June 1, the Saints will be facing most of the cap implications in 2026. -- Terrell
