I kinda like the rookie salary caps.
I don't know the details of all this. It does seem odd that the NFL can have such a hammer-hold on the veteran players.
I know NFL players are poorly paid by the standards of MLB and NBA. True, there are a lot more players, but the NFL pie is also bigger.
I wish the borderline players, the Johnny Jolly's of this world, would earn bigger nest eggs. The minimum salaries should be bigger. Maybe the player's union is more concerned about established players?
