...And NO MORE supplemental revenue sharing. For example, the Vikes can buy a team through FA if they want, but I don't think that Packer fans should have to help fucking PAY for it, PERIOD)

No thanks are necessary....but you're welcome.

The average of the 5 lowest salaries at the position they play. No signing bonus until the 2nd year. Make them earn their keep.

I think its great that owners complain about rookies' salaries, when THEY are the ones writing the checks. "God dammitt rookies make too much money! Rabble rabble rabble! Oh, JaMarcus Russell, here's $32 million guaranteed. Matt Stafford, here's $40 million. Rabble rabble rabble!."

That would be like me going to the strip club, tipping the dancers $20 a song, and then bitching because I didn't have any money afterward.

Hilarious.

The thought of writing a check to Jamarcus Russell for 30 million bucks is frightening after seeing how he plays. Course, he is on the Raiders so who knows how good he really is.

Pay any player drated after the "Third" round a commission. Just like a Realtor, Mortgage Broker, or Car Salesman.

$500 for each practice. $2,000 for a game in which they play in 1- 5 snaps, $5,000 if they play 6-10 snaps, $10,000 per game if they play between 11 and 20 snaps, and $20,000 per game if they play over 21 snaps in a geme.

Tell them all, that is the way it is.... Do you want a job?

98.5 % of them will take it. The others will go to the CFL.

That is a fact.

Make them earn it.

Trust me... A lot of these kids would step it up... every opportunity they have.

It's not exactly a free and unregulated market economy. The price you pay for a draft pick is almost completely dominated by the position of the player and the pick #, and very little to do with the value you receive for what you pay, unfortunately. But that's all I'll say; I'm not foolish enough to argue with an economics professor 😉

My beginning guess.

All rookies have a 3 year contract.

The first pick in the draft gets a three million dollar signing bonus.

The last pick in the draft gets a signing bonus equivalent to one year league minimum salary.

The rest of the signing bonuses are scaled accordingly by pick.

The 1st pick in the draft makes 3 million per year.

The last pick in the draft makes league minimum.

All picks in between are scaled accordingly.

RFA after 3. All of them.

Any hold out beyond one week after the draft will cost the equivalent of one week per week in bonus and salary. Team holds rights to any drafted player for full 3 years in the event of an attempted holdout. (The Crabdouche rule :thumbleft: )

beast (2-Aug) : I believe it's technically against the CBA rules, but Jerry just calls it a simple unofficial chat... and somehow gets away with it.

Mucky Tundra (1-Aug) : Oo just saw a blurb saying that Dallas negotiated directly with Parsons and not through his agent

Mucky Tundra (1-Aug) : the Synder years or do they take care of one of their own?

Mucky Tundra (1-Aug) : Do the Commanders risk losing a top WR with an emerging QB just because he's turning 30 and potentially risk damaging the rebuild from

Mucky Tundra (1-Aug) : Turns 30 this September, plays at a high level and Washington has some cap space I believe
