DONT GIVE RONNIR 22M in garuanteed money

I love paying professional athletes. They are worth every penny. I am just upset that the NFL was dumb enough to create a system that pays rookies so much money. I rather have guys earn the money, not get paid for potential.

I think a lot of us agree with you there and that we may just see the NFL fix this in cooperation with the NFLPA the next time they really negotiate the labor deal. It's really easy to transfer the money to veterans that way because the people in the union voting on the deal don't have to worry about those contracts. :)

I think once its time for a new CBA the players association would agree to limits on rookie salaries similar to the NBA-system because less money for rookies (who wouldn't be members at the time) means more cap-space money for veterans.

I think rookies shouldn't get paid this much(it should be like the NBA where rookies get paid small amounts of money for about three years and then if their good they get a large cotract or extension) but if every other rookie is getting paid that much then i don't blame him for wanting money
