Very true. Rookies even if they have talent to be the best, should not be paid more than the current elite players.

That is why the NFL is much more exciting than the NBA. right now we are have exciting talks about the ridiculous amount of cash that the titans are heaving at VY, but he could be cut any time and odds are that he will not make the full sum of the contract (or even play the length of it).

In boring NBA land contracts are forced down the throat of those high school kids and they are garanteed. That is why the nba is on decline, players know they are getting paid regadless on how bad the are.

It is human nature to be jelous, even resentful, of someone that is making more money than you but that's the way it is. Dont hate on them rookies and call them unproven, accuse tehm of being busts. Becasue if you are a top 5 pick in the draft you have paid your dues in the weight room, you have stayed out of troubled, thus the football gods will reward you with vasts amounts of treasure.

Trust me, if some one offered you 58 million dollars to throw a ball for six months you would not say "gee, thats a bit too much dont ya think". You would that deal in a heart beat.

hell yeah i'd take the money, but i'm saying that rookies shouldn't get that much money. No way rookies should be getting as much as they are.

its just a joke, all the whole draft nmoney for rookies and how much they have to get should be an embarrasement to the NFL, they havent played a down and they are some of the richest players in the game.
