Are you kidding? Have you not been paying attention. The vets are fed up with it. I bet when the CBA comes out the union establishes one. It benefits the owners and the players. Watch and see.

Go Panthers

It does nothing for the players and I bet you they wont negotiate it. Sure rookies get paid alot in the first round. But the Vets can use that and ask for more money.

i had hopes that the new lions FO would be different than the previous bunch of screw ups that they had but with that contract they gave stafford....they did nothing but cause harm to not only their team but to all other non-top 10 picks in the draft.

something needs to be done.

I really don't understand why this doesn't happen. What is needed is not so much a cap on rookie salaries overall, but some kind of limitation on the ridiculous salaries for the first 10 or 15 picks. The overall amount of money given to rookies can stay the same or even grow, but just create some kind of slotting system where the #1 pick isn't getting $40 mil guaranteed.

To me, 90 percent of all rookies should be in favor of it, because they'd be making a little more money, while just the top 10 or 15 would see less (though still a ridiculous fortune). The teams would be for it, because picking that high frankly sucks, because you have to commit so much money for someone who could be a total bust.

When you see teams wanting to trade out of a top pick for salary reasons, when the reason why they have that pick is to help them improve for the next season, the system is broken.
