Hey, until training camp starts this is the only dead horse to beat.
When it comes to message boards there is no trivial mole hill we cannot make into a mountain.
Notice on the list below that Lynch at #12 is signed and then there are no other offensive players until Brady Quinn at #22.
The incentives in those contracts will be based on possibly games active and games started, tackles, and either sacks or INT's. The point being that the negotiations should be over comparison of "apples and oranges" with offensive linemen and other offensive players.
I consider that a point for the optimists.
18-21 are defensive backs. If Quinn were not at 22, 18-21 should all have similar contracts affected only by draft position.
