Did you know........under the current bargaining agreement.........
A QB drafted in round one is stuck to his first contract for Five Years
A QB Drafted in round two or after is only stuck for three years.
Russell Wilson is happy that he was not a first round pick
With that being said, under today's current cap....getting those extra 2 Years on the Cheap can be HUGE for a NFL Team
Taking it one step further, if a team like the Jags or Texans pass on a QB in round one
They could be licking their chops to move up into round one and secure their QB to a nice contract for five years of cap heaven.......D Carr anybody ?
Knowing this is one of the deepest drafts ever, and knowing many are wanting to move down
if I am TT
I'm calling a team like the Jags and volunteering to move down...for probably less than a FMV pick on the value chart
Give the Jags or Texans you first...move down ten or so spots...for a third.
Then you'll have a safety sitting there for you. That's a good area to pick a Ward or Brooks...and pick up an extra pick to boot.
