RGIII Ready to Report (Signs Deal)

So various sources I believe have now confirmed what I mentioned in another thread so it's worth its own thread.

Deal is done, don't know the details yet

True. Perhaps the FO made the determination that the precedent it was setting would not necessarily govern the vast majority of future contracts it expects to negotiate (I'm a lawyer so am always focused on whether prior precedent is actually on point).

Does anyone know whether offset language is typically (or has ever been) included in the contracts of non-rookie free agents?

Not sure about non-rookie FAs, however you won't see the offset language in any rookie contract where that rookie has an ounce of leverage in negotiations.
