Tandy Posted July 26, 2011 Share Posted July 26, 2011 NFC South rookie pool numbersPat Y.Just got the rookie pool numbers for all four NFC South teams and wanted to share them with you before we get too deep into free agency. Under the new rookie wage scale, each team has a designated amount to spend on its rookies. The formula to come up with that amount is based on the number of picks and where those picks were taken in the draft. Here's the breakdown on the four NFC South clubs.Atlanta: $5,052,827Carolina: $7,132,452New Orleans: $4,578,566Tampa Bay: $4,789,294 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BruceReville Posted July 26, 2011 Share Posted July 26, 2011 My linkCam is reportedly only going to get 22 million over 4 years - 36 if the 5th year option is picked up by this new scale. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SSL810HIO Posted July 26, 2011 Share Posted July 26, 2011 i thought it was going to be much higher than that. not bad at all! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dem Birds Posted July 26, 2011 Share Posted July 26, 2011 I feel like New Orleans should be higher with 2 first round picks. But I guess number 6 overall is higher than 19 and 27 (or whatever they were) combined. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DUB Posted July 26, 2011 Share Posted July 26, 2011 so does this mean rookies will no longer hold out therefore should be in camp on time? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Sarcomere Posted July 26, 2011 Share Posted July 26, 2011 so does this mean rookies will no longer hold out therefore should be in camp on time?Essentially, yes. I read somewhere that if a rookie does decide to hold out, he loses a certain amount of money everyday. So we won't have to worry about Jones! I think we would have been in TC, regardless. He's just got that mentality. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
