As i have stated, the Jaguars are ONE of TWO teams, out of 32, that does not do deferred payments regardless of where they pick. So when your redit poster is babbling on and on, he fails to realize this fact.
So your example is useless. 2 out of the 3 #3 overalls were made by the Jags. No precedent has been set.

Even if you take out the Jags, you are still left with the fact that most other top 5 teams have included either up front signing bonus or no offset language
Offering a contract with offset language and a deferred signing bonus for a top 5 pick is the exception, and certainly has not been the "precedent" of the huge majority of other teams that have picked high recently
Again this is the Chargers going the cheap route that they have done many times before
Tomlinson, Rivers, Merriman, etc...
