You could change the RFA system, I just think there should be something in place to encourage players to resign with the team that drafted them. You don't want players leaving the teams that drafted them after only 3 years, it would make draft picks much less valuable. At least give teams the right to match any offer for these players.

The NBA uses Larry Bird rights to do this, but that wouldn't work with a hard cap.

They paid him more than the #1 overall got I believe.

The Overall contract is worth more but the guaranteed money is less, it's not the first time this is happened.

Just F'ing insane. No way a rookie should ever make that much money. I hope that the owners get this resolved in the next CBA.

you better be looking to the NFLPA ...... they are the one's blocking a rookie salary cap.

if it was up to the owners the NFL would already have one.

The chance Dorsey isn't worth a 10th of what he'll get is not small. Being a first round pick doesn't mean he'll be great.

Now to be fair he's one of carl's first round picks. When was the last time carl screwed up a high first round pick, especially a DT? These guys are locks to be all pro's that's why they get the big bucks!

I think Dorsey will be something special. That's a large part gut though, we need some pudding.

that is f'in reeruned.....Vet players have to understand how screwed up that is...

the only thing the NBA does better than the NFL is the rookie salary structure....a win win for Franchises and Vets.....

that is 10-15 mill that could have gone to older, proven players.....

Man, it's easy to write checks on someone else's account, huh?

The players won't agree to any of that because they see it as taking money out of the league.

FYP

If the owners wanna do something the first thing they need to do is fix the sharing so there isn't a have and have not system in the cap. If the cap keeps going up eventually you'll have 10 teams right on it and everyone else way under it..

The Chiefs can't spend with the Cowboys.
