RGIII signing today hopefully clears the way for Richardson to get signed. I'm not sure what Weeden is waiting for.

weeden is in the in between area where the 4th year is guaranteed or not. once some others around him get their deals done, his will fall into place. remember the browns had this exact same problem with phil taylor the previous year at pick #21.

CLEVELAND (AP) -- One high-profile draft pick signed, one to go.

On the eve of Cleveland's rookies reporting to training camp, the Browns signed running back Trent Richardson to a four-year, $20.5 million contract and can now turn their attention to getting a deal done with quarterback Brandon Weeden.

A person familiar with the negotiations told The Associated Press on Monday night that Richardson's agent Jimmy Sexton and the Browns completed the deal, which includes a $13.3 million signing bonus. The person spoke on the condition of anonymity because the team hasn't announced the signing. Richardson's deal reportedly doesn't contain any offset language, a provision that protects the Browns from having to pay him the full amount of his contract if he is released before the deal expires and signs elsewhere.

Unless I've missed something - seems like many other rookie
Contracts contain offset language.

nope.

of the guys that signed, the top 2 picks did not contain it. picks 4 and 5 haven't signed. morris claiborne, picked 6th, has no offset language.

so, no, cleveland is right in line with everyone else with having no offset language for the #3 pick.
