Rookie salaries are based on formula that uses the rookie compensation pool and draft position. I can't find anything that mentions position as a factor.  This is almost always about guaranteed money distribution.

I’m just wondering would it be bonus monies or escalators that have to be agreed upon because all the defensive players are easily candidates for DROTY. I can see it being hard to agree with Getts in NY but that long snapper and Deebo leaves me confused.

There are a few EDGE/LBs unsigned.  Not sure if its related.  As in, one signs to get specific contract language, then the rest follow suit.  Nick Bosa (DE), Quinnen Williams (DT), Devin White (LB), Burns are all left.

 

Should be noted I don't believe the Panthers have ever had a hold out.  I believe it will get done.  Newton signed his the day before training camp.

Position features heavily in franchise tag calculations and a top -level player might really want to keep that in mind, especially when it comes to the designation of LB vs DE, as the DE position generally charts out at a couple of million bucks more for a franchise tag payday.

I believe most of the unsigned picks have the same agency.  Burns should be signed, hes in no names lands with picks in front and behind signed. The top 6 is where the big issues are, starting in 2011 the scale was set. Now the agents have fought to change that. The top ten is also way different than being drafting 11-32.

With the rookie salary scale now, position really doesn't matter. You're paid based on your draft slot, not your position. About the only major thing up to negotiation is offset language which IMO is bullshit and something the players should be pushing to ban in the next CBA.

It sure as hell matters when that rookie deal is up.

Feels like this happens every year. He will sign Tuesday or Wednesday at the latest.

What matters when his rookie deal is up?
