It could just be that Slater is training in Texas and doesn’t see the need to fly to LA just to sign his contract when he will be back for TC anyway? The money is done through slotting now, I think the only thing that agents can really argue anymore is if the money is offset should they player be cut and signed by another team. This was the issue with Bosa, his agent wanted him paid out by the Chargers regardless and the Bolts never agree to that language in the rookie contracts.

the slotting determines only the total value of the rookie contract, but not the way it is paid out....... that still gives cheap owners details that they can argue over...... lol

Bosa's issue was not the offset language...... it was that Spanos wanted to pay him only half of his signing bonus immediately and delay the second half of his signing bonus till the following year..... all the other top 5 picks got their signing bonus's paid up front..... so even though the slotted numbers are fixed, the only thing Spanos (being cheap as he is) could try was delay payment.....Bosa's agent brought up the offset language purely as something to concede to give Spanos the feeling he won if spanos would do the right thing and agree to treat Bosa like the other high first rounders and pay him his bonus up front........Spanos finally agreed to pay Bosa his bonus and Bosa agreed to drop the offset language (that he did not care about anyway)(great players dont need offset language because great players dont get cut until their talent diminishes).....but that stupid cheap delay by Spanos probably caused Bosa's injury.....

I’m sure it’s more complicated than that.
Edit: Just an example but what if Slater’s agent wanted him to be paid more than some of the draft picks ahead of him?
