Re: Rookie 1st round pick signings

I think the NFL rookie wage scale should be fashioned something like the NBA's. This stuff is totally insane. The richest guaranteed $ ever for a QB who played 2 games in his last year of college and has never even played a snap in the NFL? That's just so ass-backwards. I understand the NFL is more brutal than any other sport and you have to get your cash while the getting is good, but something has to change here. I'm not saying 1st round picks shouldn't be instant millionaires. They should. But for a 21 year old rookie to be getting paid more guaranteed dollars than Peyton Manning and Tom Brady? Horseshit.
