Cleveland Browns rookies Baker Mayfield and Denzel Ward are two of seven NFL rookies yet to have signed their rookie contracts. The Browns and their prized pair of top 4 picks are running out of time to avoid holdouts as the team will begin mandatory training camp practices this Thursday. Rookies and veterans are all required to report to Berea on Wednesday.On Sunday Denzel Ward Jersey , notable remaining unsigned rookies Saquon Barkley and Mike McGlinchey inked their deals, both including large signing bonuses. In fact, Barkley’s four-year deal is worth $31.2 million with $20 million guaranteed, per NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport. That makes him the fourth-highest paid running back in the NFL before he ever plays a snap.As WGN Radio’s Adam Hoge pointed out, to this point only rookie linebacker Roquan Smith’s delay is costing his team the rookie’s presence at training camp.Here’s a list of the seven remaining rookies have yet to sign:Browns, QB, Baker Mayfield (Pick No. 1)Jets, QB, Sam Darnold (Pick No. 3)Browns, CB Authentic Jabrill Peppers Jersey , Denzel Ward (Pick No. 4)Bills, QB, Josh Allen (Pick No. 7)Bears, LB, Roquan Smith (Pick No. 9)Steelers, S, Terrell Edmunds (Pick No. 28)49ers, WR, Dante Pettis (Pick No. 44)These kinds of contract disputes rarely linger long enough to end up affecting players’ chances to participate in camps, let alone risk them missing any game action. Rookie contracts in the NFL are already “slotted” and pre-determined by the NFL rookie scale Youth David Njoku Jersey , so the main hiccups to these deals are usually related to offset language and signing bonus pay timing. Offset language refers to conditional contractual terms relating to players retaining their guaranteed rookie salary, even if released, along with any salary they obtain from another team following their release. It usually comes into play when a player is injured or released in the fourth year of their rookie deal, one year before a team must choose whether to pick up the player’s fifth-year team option. Offset language helps teams release players without them being allowed to “double dip,” so to speak.Several rookies chose to forego hiring an agent this year, which seems to be a growing trend given the cookie-cutter NFL rookie salary negotiation process. You can bet Mayfield and Ward’s agents are working extra hard to prove their worth by getting the most out of the Browns prior to their clients signing on the dotted line.There’s no need for concern, yet, but there may be some upcoming discussions we’ll need to have in the coming days if these two star rookies remain unsigned as Wednesday draws closer. The NFL made an unprecedented move last week when it fired down judge Hugo Cruz for numerous errors, including missing a false start against Chargers tackle Russell Okung before a touchdown against the Browns two weeks ago. His replacement, who was placed on a crew led by referee Carl Cheffers http://www.brownsauthorizedshops.com/authentic-larry-ogunjobi-jersey , made an officiating mistake at the end of the first half of the Browns-Steelers game.The Browns again were on the wrong end.As time was winding down, Steelers running back James Conner was stopped for no gain by Christian Kirksey at the Cleveland 5-yard line on third-and-two. But officials gave Conner an extra yard and a half, making it fourth-and-inches instead of fourth-and-two.Cruz’s replacement was involved in the erroneous spotting of the ball, according to CBS post-halftime report on the play.The Steelers went for it on fourth down and made the first down on a 3-yard pass from Ben Roethlisberger to JuJu Smith-Schuster. They scored on the next snap, with Antonio Brown catching a 1-yard touchdown with eight seconds left in half.Who knows whether Pittsburgh would have gone for it on fourth down, if it had needed 2 yards rather than inches.
