there is more incentive to leave even if you get drafted 5-7 round than there was before
but there isn't. THAT is the point
the late round guys are still in the same boat. the new CBA didn't affect those draft slots/salaries
people need to stop saying this with regards to guys like faulk, turner, hilliard, ware, etc

I guess the decision for those guys though really comes down to if they think they can move OUT of the late rounds and into early ones with one more year in college. If not, probably worth the risk to leave. But, there are probably a lot of Trev Faulks out there.
trev faulk wasn't going to improve his draft slot by coming back. what incentive did he have to do so?

No rookie can't renegotiate the contract until after their third year. So if a 2nd rounder and 6th rounder are going to make marginally different money, go ahead and start the clock to get to the second contract.

Now though, he has to REALLY believe it because a small move up really isn't that significant. You pretty much have to believe that this year, you'll be a 5th rounder but that for some reason, you might get into the 1st round next year.

Yes from initial draft eligibility

Jadaveon Clowney and his 3 sacks this year? Um, no.

that + transferring falling out of favor = more players leaving

For sure, didn't even think about him. Probably because I don't think he ever considered leaving after his jr year. Of course I really don't know

Right. Leaving early makes sense for some guys who reached their ceiling or close to it like Ware or Ford. But a guy like Turner doesn't make too much sense. He's not ready for the NFL. Even if he marginally improves his stock, it will still be worth coming back to school to prepare for what the NFL is.

You're right, my bad. But the premise remains the same. Had he been he'd been the #1 pick, according to Kiper. He won't be this year.

Yep. That's the tricky part. Yeah. Get to that 2nd contract. BUT, ya gotta be good enough to stick now in order to do that. I think some of these guys are looking straight down the barrel of complete unemployment by September.
In those cases, ya might as well come back on the chance, even if slim, you can improve your stock and ability.

All this talk of getting a second contract early and the majority of those guys will not get a second contract.
It's basically one shot to earn some cash.

You can bet if he'd have put up numbers last year like he did this year though, he probably leaves.
Real point though is, that's the kind of guy that stays. A guy that can look at the lay of the land and honestly feel he will have dramatically better on field results the following year.

at the same time he and murray are also cautionary tales, b/c they both got hurt late in the year and this will make them slide at least a round, possibly 2-3 rounds. that eliminates any gains they made this year

So there is not a noticeable difference in the rookie contracts you found pre-CBA and post-CBA. The CBA did not markedly affect the guaranteed money late-round picks receive. Hell, the differences in signing bonus don't even appear to be rising with standard inflation.
I thought the whole argument was there's now no incentive to stay and improve your draft status because of the caps put on the first few rounds? Not that the lower round picks now make any less.
Not real clear what you were pointing out here or what it was in reference to honestly, so maybe agreeing ?

quote:Agreed. I think that the real stats for a 5th rounder when you combine being waived plus injuries are not very good.
All this talk of getting a second contract early and the majority of those guys will not get a second contract.
quote:Yep. And, under the old CBA, as long as you didn't think you'd fall, staying made some sense because you might rise into noticably better money.

Now, the rise would have to be dramatic to make much of a difference money wise. Hence, people leave. The motivator now is the lack of big early round money in comparison.

there is still a pretty big difference in a 3rd round contract and a 5th round contract, but guys like chris faulk, trai turner, hilliarrd, ford, ware, wing, etc aren't getting a 3rd round contract
they don't play valued positions, have maxed out/are injured, and may not get enough PT to even matter (and it makes more sense to just leave instead of transferring)
