A Referrendum on the 2011 First Round


Recommended Posts

With the new CBA we are seeing the first wave of rookie deals become eligible for the 5th year option. This kind of creates an interesting situation where you can go down the list and see how teams did. Check it out.

The new rookie wage scale adopted in 2011 requires that all rookies sign four-year contracts. For players taken in the first round, the team has the option to extend the contract for an extra season. Decision time has come and gone for the NFL Draft class of 2011. NFL teams had until midnight Friday to decide whether to pick up the extra year in the contract. Players in the top 10 got a deal equal to the league's transition tag number. Players drafted No. 11-32 got a big raise -- but not quite that big. The decision to extend the deal wasn't too difficult for solid starters. The salary is guaranteed for injury only, so the team could still cut a player before the 2015 season if they chose. We have used this page to keep track of which players had or didn't have their fifth-year options picked up.

    • Not sure about reporters, but fans do that all the time. Hell, if you were to ask some people on here, Cam Newton never had a single bad game in his entire career. Regardless of whether it's Young, Newton, Delhomme, Clausen, Teddy Bridgewater or even Matt Moore, It's never "everybody else's fault" anymore than it's ever all one person's fault. Young's performance this past Sunday was not good enough, but he had plenty of help.
    • 1st pick was a panic we need a WR for Bryce type of pick - they chose the wrong one. 2nd pick was inexcusable because RB was the one position we didn't desperately need I get the Wallace pick - dude has great athleticism for the LB position. Just has zilcho instincts 4th and 5th round picks look good to me Could care less about 6th and 7th round because those are usually special teamers at best caliber players. Plus we got Coker as a UDFA to negate them.   Overall probably a bad draft because of the 1st 2 picks + Wallace looking bad (granted, I think Brooks would have been a good RB if he could stay healthy). I do think Dan did a good job in the 2025 draft though.
    • "on pace" after one game is kinda silly. Derrick Henry is on pace for over 3000 yards rushing and 17 fumbles.  doesn't really matter though. Defenses are going to take Tet away and make Renfrow and XL beat them. He'll get tons of garbage time crossing routes for ten yards though. Hopefully he avoids the Bryce young hospital balls.
