Point is at least the vets have PROVEN they can play. The rookies wasting cap and cash on a CHANCE they might be what's expected of them is untarded...

Come on, Dude.

NFL players are NOT overpaid. These guys risk injury to life and limb every time they step on the field. When you've got a 300 pound man running at you at 18 miles an hour, it's a health risk.

Furthermore, the players are entitled to 64% of the "revenue", even though the owners won't open the books for the union to observe. It's a joke.

Without the players, there IS no NFL. The players are what fill the seats, pay the bills, sell the jerseys and make the NFL a multi-billion dollar corporation, free of Anti-Trust laws.

The players deserve everything they can get.
