Nothing they can really do. The rookie wage scale is based on the salary cap as negotiated in the CBA. They’d need to sign a new CBA to make changes. And like I said, the money can’t really get out of hand. It’s a set percentage based on the current year’s salary cap. If the salary cap increases the rookie scale will reflect that increase. The only real negotiation points the rookies have are guaranteed money and the off-set language in the contract. The numbers are set.
I’m not a fan of guaranteeing money to people who have never played a snap of NFL football, however, the rookie wage scale keeps things from spiraling out of control. I assume eventually all rookie contracts will be fully guaranteed.
While I enjoy the thought of being seen as more than a doormat or a poverty franchise… historically speaking we have not done well when the predictions favor us. Maybe this time will be different?
For the love of god please don’t suck again…
I’m not one to get my pompoms for Peyton, but as far as #1 picks go, it’s a difficult task to advocate for a better pick. There are others worthy but it’s a coin flip at best.
Bro has to be the longest surviving make a wish kid I’ve ever seen.
Theres no other explanation for him having this job. He makes Joe Person look like Bryant Gumble.
You don’t have to look far, Luke would ride ATVs to go hunting. And he took more than a few teammates with him like Olsen and Jared Allen among others.
Coker: the Udfa kid is a baller I expect a jump in splash plays for him as attention from the defense will be focused elsewhere.
Sanders: agree with op, the guy is a big play waiting to happen and a nice security blanket for Bryce.
Legette: his hard work over the offseason will payoff and he’ll make more plays than he misses. The kid is a physical specimen.
i hesitate to list defensive players because i think Evero and his scheme is butt. I hope I’m wrong but I doubt it.
I have very low and I mean very low expectations for Evero’s scheme. It’s a better roster overall for him to leave Jaycee on one side of the field and the safeties out to dry due to zero QB pressure.
Spoiler: I don’t like the scheme.
