Re: Devin Thomas signs, 1 to go
 

[QUOTE=Schneed10;457571]Yeah, good post. On top of all this, Zorn is said to be seeking to find ways to get Portis more involved in the passing game as a receiver. More plays will be designed to go to him.[/QUOTE]

I would love to see more of Portis in space and on screens where his speed and elusiveness should equal more tds. The good thing about drafting two wideouts is that we should see a lot of them in the HOF game, which is only 2 weeks away! I'm ready for some football!

[QUOTE=Schneed10;457563]Yes they do. It varies for each team. The more picks you made in the draft, and the higher those picks are, the higher your rookie pool allotment.

Here's an article on ESPN summarizing how it works, and a table showing the rookie pool allotments by team in 2008:

great link...thanks.

Although, I guess I don't understand their formula...like why the Jets got about 400k more money to sign 4 fewer players. Maybe I'm not supposed to understand.

Probably because the Jets had two first round draft choices, Dustin Keller at #30 and Vernon Gholston at #6.
