Standardizing the rookie contracts will be the first step into making all of the salary in players' contracts guaranteed. I really don't think you want to see the NFL travel down that road. Imagine the $100 million deals that Vick and Manning got if it were all guaranteed as opposed to the bonus money in those deals.
Many may not like the way unproven rookies that get picked high get paid, but the fact of the matter is that it is better than the alternative. I do not want to see an NBA type of situation in the NFL. IMO, the NFL has the best salary structure of all the sports.
