Thanks, @AgentJesseJames!

Jesse James @AgentJesseJames

If you didn’t believe it when I said it, you best believe it when Joel Corry says it. Joel is one of the most respected contract experts there is. He was an agent for multiple superstar players across different sports leagues. Flat out, the guy knows sports business. Give him

The Chargers and 2016 3rd overall pick Joey Bosa engaged in the longest contract dispute for an incoming NFL player under the rookie wage scale, which was implemented in 2011. Bosa missed 31 days of training camp before signing his rookie contract.

@benoUdrih4prezz @Jason_OTC Plenty of cases of rookies missing some training camp, not just mini camp. Crabtree was the 10th overall pick and didn't sign his contract until after the first 4 reg season games were already played. JaMarcus Russell was 1st overall and missed the 1st game of the season.

There will be a resolution by the start of training camp or few days into at the latest. It was 2 weeks into training camp in 2018 before the Bears & Roquan Smith reached a compromise on guarantees voiding for an ejection or suspension from a game for violating NFL playing rules.

@AdamSchefter @corryjoel - What’s your read on this situation? Potential and most likely outcomes?

Thanks to @YourboyQ254 & @AriProduces for having me on @RNR920AM.

Congratulations @LouisaintSean!

Thanks to @drabtshirt, @moneymetalcakes, @GlassJoeJP, @EBJunkies & @lurchbish for having me on @1067theFan's @JunksRadio.

Under NFL CBA Article 8, Section 1(b), a player under contract doesn't get an accrued season (year of service for free agency) with a failure to report to training camp on time. Getting 6 games on the 53-man roster, IR or PUP doesn't matter when this happens.

@corryjoel @OneBillsLive Getting a lot of questions referencing your appearance and comments on James Cook. Can you help lay out what he would need to do in order to accrue an NFLPA season to become a UFA in 2026?

No complaints on how Lamar Jackson has handled his contract negotiations. He put up the best fight for a fully guaranteed contract. The structure of his current contract has given him a tremendous amount of leverage. Whether he fully exploits it is up to him.

@corryjoel I know Lamar is different in his ways and I respect him for that. But it just feels like maybe a real agent could help in some of these situations

Of course not. I was asked whether retirement is a realistic scenario. Kirk Cousins isn't going to put $37.5M of a $50M signing bonus at risk by walking away from football.

dennis green @dennisgreen666

@corryjoel KIRK WILL NOT RETIRE Last year going into Week 10 Kirk had a top 10 QB rating, was 3rd in Yds and Tds, had 3 last minute comeback wins with a minute or less on the clock, had 500 yd game and had 2 player of the week awards. Then in Week 10 he hurt his THROWING arm.

Doesn't apply to the Ravens but there are some teams, like the 49ers, where some amount of a workout bonus is a requirement. Trent Williams limits his $100,000 because he routinely doesn't earn that money.

•RvW @ravenwizardd

@corryjoel But like what’s the point of putting in in the contract ? Could that just be something he may have forgot ?

No. More than enough leverage given remaining salary cap numbers in current deal for Lamar Jackson to get workout bonuses excluded in the future.

Danny @DPK1012

@corryjoel But did DJax do his own contract?

This isn't a unique situation. The 1st significant financial instance I can recall is DeSean Jackson with the Commanders. He missed out on $500,000 a couple of times for lack of offseason workout participation.

•RvW @ravenwizardd

@corryjoel It’s not a huge deal to me overall but why did he even put it his his contract if he’s not gonna show ? Doesn’t make sense
