How Rookie Pay Proposal will Affect Draft (Panthers)

Criticize me.

The owners are attempting to resurrect the initial purpose of the draft by putting the teams in a position to rebuild their franchises without being restricted by over-expensive rookie salaries.

This is being met with discord from agents and potential first-rounders, but the Panthers will be the largest beneficiaries of this proposal.

Cam Newton has become the consensus number one pick, and while I think he fits into Rob Chudzinski's vertical pass offense, Marty Hurney's history indicates he has no motivation to take a chance on Newton. Again, whether or not that is the right decision is debatable because Newton has the potential to make the Panthers regret passing up on him.

Well agents can suck it. The day where agents make tons of money of first round picks is going to die very fast, even the veterans (aka their current clients) want it.

Well poo we agree lol

What the agents fail to realize is the same money can still be made on the veterans. The owners are just moving it around.

A rookie wage scale is far from a sure thing. If a court ends the lockout, 2010 rules apply until a new CBA is signed.

Even if there is a CBA in the next few months, it may not include a rookie scale.

In either case, it is not something we can count on, unfortunately.

If the CBA is signed, a rookie pay reduction is 100 percent. Both sides want it, but a scale is less likely. This proposal is just to reduce salaries by 60 percent, not to have a fixed number for every pick like in the NBA. If a court ends the lockout, the players will gain an advantage and the signing of the CBA will be much more likely. So I would say we can count on a rookie pay reduction.

I agree it is likely to happen in one form or another, but it is far from a sure thing.

In a negotiation, any outcome is possible. If the owners get 80% of what they want, but it doesn't include a rookie reduction, they may opt to sign.

You just never know until it's a done deal.

      Yeah, Moehrig in likely passing situations as a LB/DB hybrid role seems like a better approach then Rozeboom/Wallace.

      What top 10 prospect do you absolutely NOT want?

      This thread was a fun re-read, and not to toot my own horn, but I'd say I was pretty spot on with the things I was saying about both T-Mac and Hunter, like eerily so.  I really wish I had kept a bunch of screenshots/links to all the arguments I got into with people over the last 2 years over T-Mac, would just be fun to look back on them and laugh. To your post though, it's wild that any NFL GM couldn't see this being the case as 90% of fans out there could see it from a mile away, it really was just common sense, you can't be a full time 2 way player in the NFL today, and he's a better CB than WR, always was. The fact that they traded a future 1st and a 2nd in that draft to move up to take a CB and part time WR is beyond comical, and even if he ends up a great player, is more than likely going to be looked back on as a terrible trade by them.  Two 1st's and a 2nd to take a CB is just asinine, I'm not sure there has ever been a CB who was worth that, even the peak years of Revis or someone like Asomugha weren't worth that, let alone a full career of play.

      This. The Micah Parsons situation is an anomaly and it takes a moron with a gigantic ego like Jerry Jones to pull it off. The vast majority of these superstar/organization showdowns end up with a massive extension getting inked after a bunch of talking and posturing during the negotiation process with everyone trying to get the best deal from their perspective that they can and then everyone making up in the end - basically the Lamar contract situation. That's the normal process of how those situations play out and why everyone just assumed the Parsons situation would follow the same path but then Jerruh gonna Jerruh. LOL
