In A Perfect NFL World.....

Skinsguy,
I agree with your idea, I have always wanted the NFL players contracts to be heavily incentive based. That way nobody gets hurt, especailly the underpaid players.
The only problem I see with your suggestion is there amy be some anti-trust issues. Like most professional leagues in the country, they tread in a very gray area coming very close to collusion.

I think the NBA has something similar right where draft picks are locked into guaranteed 3-year deals (without free agent rights) with a limit on how much they can earn based on where they were drafted. This applies only to first round picks

Some say, however, that this is one reason so many players leave college early or skip it altogether-so that they can get to the second fatter contract that much sooner

I was thinking the same thing TAFKAS...that NFL could adopt a rookie cap similar to the NBA..........Stern is pushing for an age limit to circumvent leaving college or coming right out of high school too.........

I think sports should be the sameway as other professional careers...after all, how many doctors would you want working on you that decided to leave college after their freshman year?
