Re: Rookie 1st round pick signings

Looks like a deal has been done...

Sources: St. Louis Rams, Sam Bradford agree to six-year, $78 million deal - ESPN

This is insane...78 to 80 mil deal with 50 mil guaranteed? Man I hope the league sets a rookie wage scale.

Yeah, I don't get it...giving these guys who haven't played a down in the NFL this kind of money is just the height of stupidity. The system the NBA has in place works pretty well and hopefully the NFL makes a systemic effort to impose some kind of rookie wage scale that makes more sense.

After the whole JaMarcus fiasco, teams should be scare shitless about giving an unproven rookie 50-60 mil guaranteed.

yeah no s, espescially a qb with a shitty shoulder, but with the new cba coming you had to figure his guaranteed money would be higher than stafford who had 41 somthing, but 50 is just a joke. it will be interesting to see what the rokie pay scale will be, i imagine the guaranteed money will max out some whee around 20 mil which is still crazy high considering they have never played a down of football in the nfl

Yes, they need to get the rookie payscale in place.

BUT our problem is the price tag for us to retain Donovan just went up. His agent alluded to the contract on RI in an article today. Not for just us BTW but also for the Pats- Brady and Colts-Manning.

Good point. Although it is more of an immediate problem for the Colts and Pats. Especially the Pats, since they don't like to pay their players. I think the Colts will do anything to keep Manning happy, whereas I can see Darth Hoody believing he can win without Brady. Given that BA has done a fair job with contracts, let's see how he works this one out with McNabb.
