Rookie pay scale

I can only find vague references and outright confusion on the internets about the formula for coming up with the new rookie salaries...mainly because it doesn't fully exist until the NFLPA votes on it. Since that hasn't stopped the FO from using this new wage scale as an excuse to drop big money on re-signing players, can anyone shed some light on what kind of numbers the team is using in regards to rookie pay?

I've seen that we will be spending somewhere in the range of $8 million on draft contracts this year. Don't know how that number was arrived at though.

Well he can't get any more than 22 mil over 4 seasons. So it comes down to whether they will give him the max or negotiate that number down.

Not talking about total contracts. Just talking year one pay scale. Can't find even an idea of how that is to be figured out, and it seems to be a frustrating point of confusion for GM's across the league.

      The meat and potatoes: [quote] Out of 30 qualifying QBs in Week 1, Young ranked: Dead last in EPA (-0.60) Dead last in success rate (20%) Dead last in Y/A at 3.6 Dead last in passer rating at 27.5 How are you averaging just 3.6 Y/A on unpressured dropbacks in the first half of a game? Thinking back to that halftime deficit, I’m reminded of this stat: The Panthers led at halftime in three of Young’s 12 starts last year. They are now 0 for 1 this year. In his 29 career starts, the Panthers have led at halftime in 5 of 29 (17%). Since 2000, there have been 37 QBs to start at least 25 games in their first two years in the NFL. Young is the ONLY QB to lead at halftime in fewer than six of his starts. Young is the ONLY QB to lead at halftime in fewer than 20% of his starts. So many people were backing Young based on the super small sample at the end of the year when they thought he played better, and he did play moderately better. But even in those games, he delivered average stats against the NFL’s easiest schedule of pass defenses to close the year, with every opponent ranking 20th or worse. There’s never been a QB who rebounded from performance like Young delivered in his first couple of years to go on to become a franchise quarterback. Some stay around as a journeyman, but they don’t lead teams. The Panthers put all their eggs in the Young basket this offseason. The Panthers were the darlings to win the NFC South by many. Yes, it’s only one game, and there certainly are opportunities to improve.[/quote]   The opportunity is to start someone else at QB.   I don’t want to see anymore debate in whether Bryce is the worst QB ever.  Especially not the worst #1 overall pick ever.  What a fuging bust.
