The NFL is almost certain to have an NBA style rookie cap.
So for example, let's say the number overall pick receives $10 million dollars in guarantees. The second overall pick would receive a fraction of that (say $9.9 million) and so on throughout the draft.
What will happen is that teams will have an exorbitant amount of money for veterans on their second contract (as it should be).
In that case, Albert would clean up.
The owners have pretty much vowed to lock out the players until an agreement like this has been reached.
