I'd like to see the NFL adopt a rookie structure like the NBA has.. You get a 3 year contract with a team option for the 4th year and a player option for the 5th. Your contract $$ are pre-determined by your draft slot and you never see NBA holdouts. All of this foolishness that Quinn is doing in Cleveland and Russell in Oakland wouldn't be happening, nor would the Freeney/Thomas example mentioned above.
