Are agents colluding to secure guaranteed money for second round picks?

Are scouts discussing player evaluations colluding to prevent a player from going round 1?

Are players holding out for new contracts in the middle of their current contract colluding?

AI states, "Collusion itself is not a specific crime, but it can describe the act of participating in a conspiracy or other illegal agreement that could be a crime. For example, price-fixing or bid-rigging are illegal agreements, and collusion is often used to describe the act of engaging in these activities."

We all participate in the definition of collusion in our every day lives. If you and your friends decide in private to boycott a business for whatever reason it is collusion. It is not illegal. Some may call it petty. Or unethical. But not illegal.

AI is total bull****. AI doesn't say anything anyway. Its a webscraper that uses among many other things AI technology to pull keywords and phrases from the web. On a simple level, you ask which widget is best. “AI” pulls info from a widget manufacturer that spends a lot of time and money boosting their reviews. “AI” picks up on these reviews and starts down that rabbit hole. Algorithms and opinion pieces from users get mixed in there and you have your answer. Go ask detailed questions about razors and see where it takes you. Its an obscure subject that most of the general population have little knowledge about.
People would be floored to see what it says when it comes to anything to do with the second amendment or the ins and outs of using a firearm.

My question is why do we care? If the salary cap is still the same amount, guaranteed contracts would not even transfer money from the owners to the players. They would transfer money to aging stars with big contracts who got hurt and would otherwise be cut from players who teams might add on short term deals as a luxury if they have cap space. In many cases these could be some of the same players. If the Giants could not cut Daniel Jones they may not have money for Russell Wilson. But if the Broncos could not cut Wilson then the Giants could not have him anyway. If the Browns could have cut Watson then perhaps they dont have to cheap out on Flacco and they get in a bidding war for Rodgers or Wilson or Darnold. Guaranteed contracts are a big win for players in a league without a salary cap like MLB but with a salary cap they are only good for particular players because they mean much less money or no offer at all for others because that money is taken. I see why many players want them. I see why agents want to say they are the ones who can get them. But I dont see why fans care.

AI actually does a decent job of compiling information that you can verify yourself. The snippet that I posted was an exact compilation of what I knew as fact and saved me from having to type it all out.

As for razors, I have a fairly extensive collection of Gillette razors that have ranged from the earliest regular production year of 1904 through the latest of the double edges and even into the band era. I wouldn't depend on AI for anything in totality, but if it's scraping reflects what I know for a fact I have no problem sharing it.

Wait….he brought up razors in general, and you just happen to have a collection of razors dating back to the early 1900’s? Are you serious dude? That is random and coincidental af.
