I read that Titans would wait until after draft to sign him, that could mean he's going there.

Like a week after the draft free agent signings no longer count towards the comp pick formula. I'm guessing any team that's waited this long told Clowney and his people to hold on a few more weeks to clear that date.

Not saying McCaffrey deserves the extension or not, but you picked two terrible examples.

Zeke has had off the field issues (some not his fault) and had/has a QB that needs to get paid, and Bell had multiple issues as well. Not even comparable situations.

This is why you're such a horrible poster

O'Brien heard Hopkins was going to be looking for a new deal and traded him.

Another example:

There is reportedly "no end in sight" for Khalil Mack's holdout with the Oakland Raiders defensive end not expected to report for the team's second preseason game, according to Adam Schefter of ESPN.

The Raiders are set to play the Los Angeles Rams on Saturday, and Mack will be fined $814,000 for missing the game, just as he was for Week 1 of the preseason.

The three-time Pro Bowler is set to make $13.8 million this season, per Spotrac, but this is the final year of his rookie contract and he is looking for long-term stability.

There's no end in sight for Aaron Donald's contract holdout from the Los Angeles Rams.

Donald is one of the premier defensive players in the NFL — Pro Football Focus ranked him as the best player in the league in 2015 and 2017 and the second-best in 2016. Still on his rookie contract, set to pay $6.4 million this season, Donald is now taking his holdout into training camp for the second straight season. Last year, Donald finally reported to the Rams on the eve of Week 1 and played without a new deal. This year, things seem different.

New Orleans Saints wide receiver Michael Thomas didn't report to the team Thursday for training camp, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport and Mike Garafolo.

Thomas is in the final year of his contract and looking for a long-term extension with New Orleans. Rapoport tweeted "the two sides are not there yet" and that the two-time Pro Bowler won't participate in training camp without a new deal.

Four players all at the top of their positions, likely first ballot Hall of Famers, no off field issues, great locker room guys, yet they didn't get paid early or got traded because the team didn't want to pay them:mjpls:

The Dallas Cowboys are taking care of quarterback Tony Romo.

NFL.com's Ian Rapoport reported Friday that the Cowboys and Romo agreed to a six-year, $108 million contract extension with $55 million in guarantees and a $25 million signing bonus, according to the quarterback's agent, RJ Gonser.

The deal makes Romo the highest-paid player in Cowboys history and tops the $52 million in guarantees that Joe Flacco received from the Baltimore Ravens as part of his six-year, $120.6 million pact.

The Cowboys officially announced Romo's signing Friday night, with team owner Jerry Jones saying in a statement: "We are very confident in this investment and commitment." Added Romo: "Our goal is the Super Bowl, and I am determined and honored to be the guy in this position to help our team do that."
