tdot falcon Posted June 6, 2008 Share Posted June 6, 2008 I really hope that when the NFL comes up with a new bargaining agreement they make a restriction on how much rookies can make. The NBA does it and it makes a lot more sense than constantly making unproven rookies have some of the highest salaries in the league.

kschreck Posted June 6, 2008 Share Posted June 6, 2008 The Falcon Ace (6/6/2008)How are they going to pay them, they hardly have any cap room left...I thought the money given to draft picks was from a different number then the cap #that we normally look at. Maybe I'm wrong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WHAT MAKES IT SO CRAZY IS ...... THEY STARTED IT IN THE FIRST PLACE.Actually they didn't start it. The original agreement used a percentage of the profit to come up with the salary cap and the rookie pool. Every year that percentage increased just a little bit and the profits increased a lot because of the TV network contracts that boomed. That's why it got completely out of hand. The owners are contractually obligated by the current agreement to use an amount of money within a range. Most of that money goes to the top.

Sun Tzu 7 Posted June 6, 2008 Share Posted June 6, 2008 Running back Darren McFadden reached a six-year, $60 million agreement Thursday night with the Oakland Raiders that includes $26 million guaranteed. [+] Enlarge AP Photo/Michael ConroyDarren McFadden's contract includes $26 million in guarantees.McFadden is the third of the top four draft choices to reach a deal. Offensive lineman Jake Long, of the Miami Dolphins, and quarterback Matt Ryan, of the Falcons, the third pick in the draft, have signed. McFadden, the fourth pick, reached an agreement after negotiating during the Raiders' minicamp.McFadden's agent, Ian Greengross, flew to Oakland to start negotiations with the Raiders. Both sides wanted to get a deal done quickly. The tricky part was getting enough guaranteed money to compete with Long and Ryan's deals. Ryan received more than $34 million in guarantees on his six-year, $72 million contract. But Ryan reached the agreement the day the NFL voided the final two years of the collective bargaining agreement. Negotiations for draft choices since have become more complicated because of the possibility of having an uncapped year in 2010.Greengross and the Raiders were able to work through the red tape and come up with a six-year contract that maximized guarantees. Many analysts of the rules involving the uncapped year predicted more five-year contracts that included less overall and guaranteed money.McFadden is expected to share the running back position with Justin Fargas. The team scheduled an 11 p.m. Friday news conference to announce the signing. He becomes the 21st of the 252 league draft choices to reach an agreement.John Clayton in a senior NFL writer for ESPN.com. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
