Still no Mike Merritt

I wonder what’s up.

Clarification Request

Agreeing to terms of a contract with Merritt does not obligate the Chiefs to pay him x dollars or keep him on the roster, does it?

I don't believe so

I think the only money they would be obligated to pay would be small signing bonus. And for a 7th rounder, that bonus is probably only a few thousand.

Well then

the only 3 answers I can think of are

1) Merritt has done so well in OTA’s that his agent is haggling for more money (unlikely)
2) he’s not going to training camp (more likely)
3) He is hard to reach by cell phone (he must have sprint)
