the problem with this thread is people are getting confused between Sam Bradford and top 15 picks and Russell Wilson and Alfred Morris as late round picks.
2nd-7th round picks are still making the same amount of money they made during the Sam Bradford $60M guaranteed mega contracts...but guys like Chris Johnson (late 1st rounders) were at least able to hold out for more money after they outperformed their contracts...which is the total right move and should be the right of a player of that caliber...
now, the NFL RIGHTLY fixed and slotted NFL lottery picks guaranteeing their contracts as a bargaining chip (great move)...but somehow the NFLPA allowed them to right in a 3 year clause for rookies which is ****ing absurd and if I were Russell Wilson I'd be calling for the heads of all the leaders in the NFLPA
it's a travesty for guys like Alfred Morris
