I never had thought about the majority, that only few rookies get big contracts.. However, I still feel like we should set up limited salary for ALL rookies (there's no need to modify contracts for 2nd rounders and less).. The fat contracts few rookies get, should go to veteran players because they worked hard and are proven players.. All rookies should
earn the big money..
And not to mention, by having a cap for rookie salaries, it would prevent hold-outs from training camp and preseason..
