NFL Rookie Wage Scale - good or bad?

Most beneficial to the owners. In theory it was good but it has directly resulted in teams slashing vets from their rosters in favor of cheap young players at every position with the exception of QB.

earlier rounds it benefits the owners.
a bust no longer straps you as bad as it once did.

mid-later rounds it benefits the players.
the difference between a late 3rd and a mid 6th rounder is no longer a huge amount.
so players who are a 5-6 rounder this year with a ceiling of late 3rd or 4th if they come back to college for another year are now coming out and getting a head start to their 2nd contract.

Mostly owners, but also average or better players as well. More money under the cap needs to be spent, and if you're average or better you're getting a piece of that pie.

good, too many unproven players were getting contracts that were getting out of control

owners and fans

no more having to cut several of your vet players for a sam bradford.

you can afford to take projects at qb in 1st round, you couldnt when u had to pay them 10-20mil per. He got 5 years, 65 mil for doing nothing in nfl, but being drafted.
