Have to give MO some credit

He's getting it done sooner than in the past

Also R2 is the one that usually waits for the pay slot to made around this pick

The difficulty with teams signing 2nd round picks started last season when the Texans gave pick #34, Jayden Higgins, a fully guaranteed contract, and the Browns followed suit with #33 Carson Schwesinger. Then other agents near the top of the 2nd round started holding out for the same. Eventually everyone down to #38 TreVeyon Henderson got fully guaranteed deals, while the players taken later did not.

This year, agents are pushing for the full guarantees to extend deeper into the 2nd round. #39 Denzel Boston got his salary fully guaranteed. #40 R Mason Thomas has signed, but I haven't seen whether his contract was fully guaranteed; #41 Cashius Howell hasn't signed a deal yet. Anyone close to the border line between fully guaranteed and non-guaranteed contracts will probably take longer to sign; but once the line is set, everyone else will probably fall into place quickly.

But with the precedent set in 2025 for everyone through at least #38 to get fully guaranteed deals, there was no reason for Ossenfort not to get #34 Bisontis signed quickly. He doesn't deserve any special credit for that... aside from not screwing it up as some past Cardinals teams would have done by refusing to include the full guarantee!

my favorite pick.

I think the oline is the one unit that you absolutely have to build through the draft.

The injury rate is so high for oline men that you never ever want to pay big FA dollars for a 26 or 27 year old player, unless he’s home grown, and then you kind of have to. But generally I think 2nd contracts for oline men are low return investments because of games missed.

And you can get top talent in the 2nd round like we did with this guy.

Huh? During their second contract high number of games missed?

I can’t say I agree but I have zero data to put a stake in the ground on your claim.
You have to understand- crimson has been following the cardinals for a lengthy amount of time. A franchise that is cursed where soon after signing lucrative contracts immediately result in season ending injuries.

damn, seemed like all through the nineties the players came to arizona to retire just like the snowbirds did. They would sign a fat contract, hold a press conference...go through most of camp... then, BOOM,...serious owey, dude cant play...we had a few that never even played a snap for us..just season ending injuries every august
was soooo damn frustrating

I don't know or understand what the number of followers has anything to do with what the guy writes or says?
it really doesnt. a guy either has valid points or he doesnt.
But to "some" people..a guys points are not valid unless a large number of strangers like to listen to them.

so that comment coming up, about followers, is a running joke regarding the pure idiocy of finding it in the least bit valid.
