CONGRATS TO CONNOR COOK!!!

by **Vlad** 2016-04-30, 12:44

Much lower than he deserved, and probably drafted as trade bait since the Raiders already have a young QB, but whatever .

As for the NFL, they really deserve more Johnny Manziels, Jamies Winstons and Frank Clarks. Those are the types they want to reward with millions of dollars. Mother fuckers!!

Ive figured it out: Numerous GMs colluded to keep Cook undrafted to the 4th round so that he could then be traded to a team that would have liked to have signed him in the 1st or 2nd round. So now- that team that acquires him through trade gets him for much less money. This strategy is probably replicated throughout the draft in order to supply 1st and 2nd round key players throughout the league at a discount.

Wake slept with Cook's mom. Cook hates Wake, Cook dropped a tray infront of Wake's because of it, told Wakes he wasn't picking it up. Wake said, "I'll make your moms do it when she bends over". That's it. I might have embellished a bit.

I could not be more happy for this fine young man. I wish him all the luck in the world.

Tim Wakefield, but you know that.

You'd be shocked at how little I follow baseball. As in, like, none! Not at all! But Google tells me he's a pitcher for the Bosox. Ok, so what's the connection to Cook, and more importantly, to Cook's mom?

He is one of the 10 people that post here. It's not that hard. Maybe write them on your hand or something. Or read threads that aren't your own sometime. I dunno.

You guys are really confusing me. Why in the world would I read threads that aren't my own?? That would mean that I think the rest of you have something important to share. And we all know that's just not the case. For example, if a thread about congratulating CC can turn into a baseball pitcher sleeping with CC's mom (as apparently discussed in threads not started by me), that just goes to prove my point.

Wake grabbed the MVP trophy out of Cook's hands when he got off the bus and didn't even acknowledge him.

I assume only the signing bonus is guaranteed? I haven't kept up on how NFL contracts work these days.

I can't form an opinion on this until Doogie weighs in.

I think the bonus and the first year's salary are guaranteed, but I'm not positive.

They are, but ask Charles Rogers if they put shit in your contract that would require an automatic pay back. Charles didn't quite figure that out.

by **NigelUno** 2016-05-11, 06:30

Unless the agent negotiated a guaranteed 1st year salary, the only thing guaranteed about it, is the Raiders would be unlikely to cut him in his first year. Likewise, none of the remaining years would be guaranteed. His signing bonus would be guaranteed (unless they put some provision in it for him to repay part of it if he got cut in any remaining year...which would be rare).

Burbridge and Clark signed deals also. They got relatively small signing bonuses. They won't get paid on their contracts (in the first year, or obviously any remaining years) unless they make the team.

Maybe they'll do one of those life story bios on him and Wake can get interviewed talking about the time he tossed his cafeteria tray on the floor.

"Connor Cook. Douche. XFL elite."

by **StylesGShmooth** 2019-10-08, 14:20

So I guess he'll be battling that standout from the Assembly of God for a starting spot.

That is if the league doesn't fold before there can be any stars.

#2!!!!

Good luck to him. Hope he's saved some raider money, hope he has good financial planners, hope he has a decent degree from MSU. I have the feeling this is his ceiling. Did a hell of a lot for my enjoyment of MSU football.

Needs to work on his cafe manners.
