Rookie contracts were absolutely debilitating back then when a high pick busted. The rookie scale didn’t start until 2011, and guys like Russell helped usher it in.


True but the teams had no say so in the compensation of a draft pick. It was all determined by draft slot. At least with JaMarcus there was some unlocked potential to him. The Broncos gave up on basically 3 drafts for a guy everyone knew was past his prime with 2 years left on his deal and STILL decided to give him a massive 5 year extension.
