This draft doesn't have a rookie cap.

I think the general sentiment is that the pay scale will come into effect before training camp, meaning it is retroactive back to this draft (IE before any of them sign a contract)...

That said, it could be one of the major bargaining points in the CBA... Fighting for one last year before it is implemented... If so, it makes Luck's decision even more dumb, financially...

I don't think that the rookie wage scale is a sticking point between the 2 parties. In fact it might be the one thing they agree on. The owners want it to control costs and the vet players want it because with it they get the bigger piece of the pie. No way this doesn't get implemented this year.

Baseless assumption. It would be the first draft. I history no one wanted to. Believe it or not, some teams are only one good wr jor dt away from a playoff run.

This is true... Just because the Panthers never really make moves to get "their guys," that doesn't mean other teams don't...

That is what I was saying... That it will be implemented before any of these rookies sign... most likely...

someone would have to be in love with Mallet to do that. No one wants to pay a cb/wr 1st overall money. We got hosed and JR should of kept his fat mouth shut, DAMNIT. Where the fug is a Suh when you need one?

You are not paying attention. The 1st overall pick won't be paid like years past.

Stockpiling picks (ala the Patriots) may be the thing of the future in the new CBA. With the rookie payscale you will be able to fill your roster with younger and cheaper players rather than with expensive FA's. Now of course you will have to have some vets on the roster to be successful but i could see a team that is in rebuild mode trading away a pick in the top 5 for 3 or more picks in the first 3 rounds in order upgrade talent. It makes rebuilding through the draft easier because the top 5 picks aren't so expensive that it diminishes their value.

The things I've been reading say it would be a legal nightmare to predate this new CBA to the 2011 draft and more than likely something they are not willing to deal with.

      Scourton isn't signed (& apparently it's a thing)

      Yep, like I said, I don't mind guaranteeing them money, but make the contracts smaller amounts in order to minimize cap implications. I don't know about "half," the actual amounts, whether more or less than half, would have to be determined by the NFL and NFLPA (which will probably be highly contentious, if not "impossible").  I'm just for whatever leads to the best product on the field while also unaffecting my wallet. As an aside, the NFL owners are greedy bastards in my estimation. They're trying to keep a larger portion of the pie, but players' agents are greedy as well, and they've sewn seeds of greed among the players. It's not all their fault; we all know what our society has evolved into, but the NFL wants a bigger piece of our smaller pocketbooks and refuses to "negotiate" with us (that's why we don't have cheaper and more reasonable à la carte options to view games that they're gradually trying to migrate to paid TV), so fu<k 'em. And then on top of that we have guys trying to water down the product even more by feeding greed. Change the way things are done so that we can at least see players prove themselves on the field without throwing wrenches into the engine that pays guys that have proven they can play on a pro level.

      OK, I didn't realize this was about high school, but...if I'm spending my personal money trying to help some kids out, then no one is going to tell me how to spend my money. I get enough of the government spending my money--allocating my tax dollars--to children who don't really need anything, and now they're trying to tell me how to spend my personal money? Sure, there are many other issues to consider and rabbit holes that we could go down due to ethical concerns because it concerns kids, and the need for transparency is extremely important, but maybe as opposed to trying to stop kids from benefitting in darkness, we need to open up the blinds (and blinders) a little bit so that they can benefit in the light. I get where you're coming from, but this is a loaded and layered issue, and I'm just trying to give you some food for thought.
