Yeah Rookie Contracts are out of control and they are forcing teams in the league to pay not only the ridiculous rookie contract but, then Free Agents are getting dumb money as well. They better be raising the salary cap by leaps and bounds each year or the teams aren't going to be able to pay these guys each year. The fact that each year the rookies get richer and richer would have a guy like Sean Taylor pissed about his contract. Now if you have a top flight reciever you are basing his contract around the 6 year 64 mill contract of Calvin Johnson. Another guy who is pissed about his contract is the Allen Fanneca. All reasonable gripes when the rookies who could just suck get this huge amount of money.

Now will it ever get fixed? I doubt it since they just did the collective bargaining agreement last year. I mean is a guy like Derick Dockery worth all the money he got? Or the lineman in Dallas who sucked as a Cardinal? No.
