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.
