I've called the league office to confirm NFL rules.

I've talked to a NFL representative who confirmed the specific terms of a rule and the leverage the commissioner has (had) to levy temporary "amendments" by his discretion.

I posted the phone number of this individual on this site afterwards.

He got so many calls they changed the phone number 4 days later.

Older members will remember this (when Herm was rumored to come here and the "Gruden rule" was assumed to still be the law.)

I'm not just some tard who quotes a talking head and spouts garbage because my Halo level and years as a member should earn me credibility...

WTF are you talking about?

THIS IS A BRAND NEW CBA. THIS IS A CLEAR RULE IN THE NEW CBA.

OMG

You can't be this dumb, can you?

HOLY ****

New CBA limits early renegotiated contracts

Chris Johnson is lucky that he got a little pay raise before his third season in 2010. In the future, that type of renegotiation won’t exist.

As pointed out by agent David Canter, incoming players will not be able to renegotiate contracts before the end of the third season on their rookie contracts. Undrafted players can renegotiate after their second year.

It was pretty rare for guys to get new deals that early in their career, but not unprecedented. While the move seemingly protects teams from holdouts from players like Johnson, it could also limit teams from making early risk: reward bets.

For example, the Eagles locked up young guys like Sheldon Brown, Lito Sheppard, and Mike Patterson after only two years. (Patterson signed an eight-year deal in 2006 after playing only two seasons.) They wouldn’t be able to make those deals now.

Still, we can’t argue too heavily with any rule that prevents possible holdout drama before it starts.

P.S. This might be the dumbest post I've read in the history of ChiefsPlanet.

You're telling me I'm wrong because you called the league office back before Herm Edwards was the coach of the Chiefs and confirmed something that has nothing to do with the brand new CBA that was put in before the Cam Newton draft.

...what?

No, I'm stating that if I'm going to get irate and yell at people it's either me just ****ing with someone for fun or I mean it.

Yes, I understand that a big part of the new CBA was "locked in" contracts. That will be challenged. With this many rookies/2nd year starters I expect it sooner than later.

If I understand it correctly not honoring your rookie deal means the team is not required to pay you any part of that contract. No guaranteed money.

It means you play for your contract or sit out and wait to get traded (which teams can NOW afford to do because their contracts are cheaper and without penalty.)

Wont matter the NFLPA signed off on this deal.
