NFL Draft pick signings....


Recommended Posts

 

I was thinking about this today, and I got to say, I LOVE the new rookie pay scale.  LOVE LOVE LOVE IT!  I remember all the stress and anxiety we all had waiting on draft picks to sign, now, it's just a formality.  Huge positive move if you ask me.

Some don't like the "pay your dues" approach to the rookie wage scale, but early-round picks that busted placed a tremendous burden on franchises.

 

They get paid better than most people starting their first day on the job. Fighting over money during rookie contract negotiations was always a slap in the face to the franchises that selected them. It's a good thing.

I like it too.  That said, the NFL needs to do much more to help the guys from the early days.  These folks re battling all sorts of medical issues.

The players association and the owners would have to take money out of their own pockets and give it to those no longer performing or paying dues.  That's not likely to happen.  Retired players only get what they can win in court.  Sad.
