Rookies - Overpaid and Unproven

The Commish steps up and tells it like it is.... I like this guy more and more...

Overpaid and Unproven; Roger Goodell Sounds Off

It's easy to see why the CBA died when it comes to the outrageous nature of these contracts; then some of these kids have the nerve to hold out for a better deal.

I'm glad Commish G is stepping up and addressing these issues head on.

This SKOL'S for you!

Haven't even played a down

The joke is that these guys who have yet to play a down in the NFL are sometimes the biggest, or at least one of the top 5 salaries on the team. There base numbers keep rising at a higher percentage rate even than the cap resulting in good player getting down around rookie and veteran minimums or not much more. The players that play should be the ones with the bigger pay checks, and the ones that star, should be the ones making the really big money, not a guy who has yet take step onto the field.

The system needs fixed…

It may take a village to raise a child, but it takes a Viking to raze a village.
