I don't know what they can do...other than maybe guaranteeing two year contracts or giving the players SOME leverage...or giving the team that drafted you your rights for 4 or 5 years like the NBA...it's just more difficult in the NFL.
There is no reason why rookies should be making more than the majority of the veterans.

Like most jobs they need to start at the low end and maybe only do 3 yr contracts.
