It has only a tiny $7,000 signing bonus, no other guarantees, and minimum salaries.It's a 3 year deal because, for whatever reason, the Packers could make it so.  If Begelton is not a player to keep by cutdowns, the cost is tiny.  If he turns out to be good enough to keep, he's sitting on the minimum for the year, then rinse and repeat for two more years.  In other words, it's all team options throughout, however long it lasts.I looked at some of the CFL tape.  Nothing jumps out.  Given how few players graduate to the NFL from the CFL, the level of competition is a big issue.  What would you say?  Like a lower tier conference where a couple of guys get drafted in low rounds an a couple make camps as UDFA's, just an older group of guys?  Is he just one of the best houses in a bad neighborhood?Given the contract structure and lack of any wow factor in that tape, I wouldn't qualify him much differently from a UDFA competing for his NFL life.</blockquote>
