Rookie Salaries - Out of Control

I'm just glad the NFL has a salary cap, or it could look like baseball with one team completely stacked.

yeah, but guess what team that would be? the skins and the cowboys would easily out distance the rest of the league in salaries

I think the NFL should insert a "BUST" clause for all first round draft picks so that the team that drafted them can recoup some of that guranteed money and use it on some hard working vets!

If there is one for draft picks how about a "bust" clause for all overpaid free agents?

I heard Gayle Sayers made only $275K in his ENTIRE career.

If I were the Skins I would give Taylor a new contract right now. It's going to be a lot harder to resign him when he's a FA than it would be right now. Show ST the money!


Saden -wouldn't the Skins at least use the franchise tag on Taylor? I would think that when Taylor's contract runs out the Skins are not going to just let him leave as a unrestricted free agent. This is ditto for Chris Cooley. I would think the Skins will use the franchise tag on Cooley next year when he becomes a free agent and than on Taylor when his contract runs out (I believe the year after that).

I think the FO is not going to let either of these 2 go into the free agent market without tagging them - (unless they cannot afford to and Schneed could probably clarify that).
