They're also banking on the fact that the cap is raised each of the next few years & the few terms & conditions in CBA that they redid last yr.. but I agree.. big mistake & in the end alot of ppl who are overpaying are guna get the shaft.
I mean really.. whats the % of FA big contract signings work out? Its not very high that I know of.. Hutch, umm TO, umm.. Culpepper, Moss any of these guys get thier teams to the show?
(I know i took a shot at my own team.. but its true in the end while TO did have a good season.. I dont think it was equal to his contract worth)
Other problem, is NFL (pretty much most sports) in contract negs. your comparing to other signings.. just the way it works.. even with draft signings.. other teams base thier contracts to 1st, 2nd rounders etc etc from what the top pick at that position or overall from that yr & the previous couple of years were.
Kinda nice thing about NCAA & Amateur sports.. yes still alot of politics.. but they play more for the love.. I mean 49million for 7yrs or whatever... really after the 1st few million does it REALLLLLY matter? Your there to play the game you "love & wanted to play NFL your whole life" now REALLY if that was the case.. 40 or 49million.. if you wanted to play SOOOOO badly would make a diff? Please. I always like watching/reading about Undrafted agents... they are often the guys that fight thier asses off to play or make the roster.. great to watch them pre-season too...(mind you they still make what.. min I think is 350k in the first yr)
