I still say that this is not worth fighting over and it is just the agents trying to justify their exorbitant fees .With slotting, there is just not much an agent can do to provide value. So got to find something. And it is hard to pan a team that offers a FULLY GUARANTEED 4 year contract to a rookie by saying "yea, but if they cut you and you resign somewhere else, the guaranteed money will still be guaranteed but wont be in addition to your new contract"
Reminds me when I lived in NJ and you had to retain a lawyer to buy or sell your house. NJ had standard contracts and offers and requirements. It was all spelled out. But you still had to hire an attorney. Mine wasted a lot of billable hours attempting to reword a clause in the state approved contract with the seller's attorney. That clause had nothing to do with me.
TGLike, how am I a traitor? Your team are traitors.

Situating the Chargers secondary: Brandon Facyson sees field as starting outside cornerback
The Chargers drafted Asante Samuel Jr. in the second-round, but that doesn’t mean the rookie will be without competition.
Entering Year 4, Brandon Facyson will be pushing Samuel for the starting boundary corner opposite Michael Davis when the team deploys a dime or nickel look, which is the majority of the time in Brandon Staley’s defense.
Through one day of practice, Facyson has the early advantage, as he was manning the outside with the first team when Chris Harris Jr. was in the slot.
This alignment mirrors the one all throughout minicamp and OTAs. Throughout the spring, the coaches had high praise for Facyson.
Up to this point in his career, Facyson has primarily been used as a reserve corner and primary special teamer, only making four starts in 44 games.
While his professional resume is limited, the coaching staff is appealed by Facyson’s athleticism, measurements and experience in a variety of techniques and coverages and his prowess in run defense.
With that, the team believes his game can be maximized in the new system and under the guidance of defensive coordinator Renaldo Hill, secondary coach Derrick Ansley and Staley.
As for Samuel, he has only been a pro for a few months and he is still getting acclimated to the transition from the college level.
There are 16 practices and a three-game preseason slate left, so it’s anyone’s spot to win still. But in the early going, the staff appears to favoring Facyson’s potential in that role.My 2021 Adopt-A-Bolt List
