Fools.

I think the NFL should strong arm the Union and make all Rookie Contracts a guaranteed three year deal, at a reasonable rate. Then after at is up the team can sign the player to huge money. Think of all of the money that wouldn't have been wasted on First round busts. Tim Couch, Ryan Leaf....

Kind of make it like the NBA rookie contracts. Here it is, this is the only contract you can get, take it or leave it.

I absolutely agree. Here are kids that are "supposed" to not be making any money in college, and they turn their noses up at 3 or 4 or even 5 mil a YEAR.
Maybe agents shouldn't be allowed in sports either.
