We do not need a protracted holdout, but Shough is playing hardball knowing he has all the leverage with such a shite QB room.

We're going to suck with him too so it doesn't matter.

I’m certain it’s his agent that’s playing hardball.

Jayden Higgins agent reset 2nd round market. It is what it is, Shough has not missed a practice yet and I’m confident it will get done before it comes to him missing time

Sigh. just to point out the obvious, his salary is based on his draft position. That is not up for negotiation.

That being said, why haven't you been banned yet? What's going on with this board?

You do realize that a lot of 2nd rounders are holding out because the first 2 to sign signed fully guaranteed contracts

With an injury history like his, I don't blame him.

Isn’t it pre slotted? Why are more guys seeming to hold out this year?

WTF you talking about? TS is not “holding out”. He’s a second round pick—his money is his money—they are negotiating the guaranteed portion of the money. He’s been at every practice, and he will continue to be at practice.

The first two picks of the 2nd rd got their contracts fully guaranteed so now the agents for a bunch of the 2nd rders are trying to treat that as precedent and get their client's more guaranteed money. The Saints would be incredibly stupid to agree to it since with or without Shough there's a good chance we'll be in position to draft a qb high in the 1st next year.

Cooper Dejean last year at 40
4 years 9.157 million

If you think this guy is your starter or a quality backup...locking in a NFL QB at 4 years and a tick over 2 million a year...who gives a shite about the guarantees

Either he is your starter, this years backup, or the guy that takes you to the top of the draft next year. They have time but this isnt something you let linger beyond the start of training camp

It’s also not just about this year. The precedent is now set for the top picks, Cleveland & Houston in the 2nd round getting guaranteed money going forward. If the other teams also give in, then you can expect the entire 2nd round to get guarantees next year. Few years down the road you’ll start seeing 3rd rounders getting guarantees…

This board sucks so bad. I can see why posters contemplate going back to saints report.
