Or more precisely, Shough's agent is demanding a fully guaranteed contract. To be fair, only two of the 32 2nd round picks (#33 and #34) have been signed to date. As a comparison, only three of the 32 1st rounders remain unsigned and all 38 of the 3rd rounders have signed. Every agent out there is making the same demand for 2nd rounders to have the same guarantees as round one. Carson Schwesinger and Jayden Higgins, the two signed 2nd rounders, both received fully guaranteed contracts.

Unless he holds out (unlikely since he's competing for QB1 and needs all reps) it doesn't matter too much.

Which is why every other 2nd rounder is demanding it. Which, to be honest, I can't blame them for. An agent has got to work for his client.

I can see both sides.

But if we're guaranteeing money, what guarantee does the franchise receive in exchange?
