One step closer to taking a shot at Cam Newton with rookie wage scale agreed upon prior to draft....

If we are, I feel a lot better than giving him $50 million guaranteed.

I hope this helps gets the deal done by Friday.

I know!!

I can't believe there is actually a legitimate sign of progress. If they can just figure out this $9 Billion revenue thing I think the deal will be done soon. Here's to hoping :cheers2:

One step closer to trading down.

Let the offers begin!

still didn't see anything about a wage scale.

shorter contracts will make it more palatable, but still that leaves them prone to some awfully high per year deals.

better than nothing, though.

Great news, and so much for the black cat curse. We to happen to have the first just when this is agreed on.

High year deals...but less guaranteed money overall.

I'm cool with that. I hope the restricted free agency period is longer to prevent teams from going NBA-style (popular teams get cream of the crop) sooner.
