You realize the nfl has capped the rookie contracts since Williams signed that big deal, right?


No, what is the cap?

Its like the NBA, every draft spot has a certain cap to it to limit how much rookies can make so basically each draft picks contract is mostly set. Its to reduce how much rookies are getting paid and to reduce the number of rookie holdouts

Cam Newton only got a 22 million dollar contract as the Top pick last year and Luck will get something very similar.

The only things that are negotiated in rookie contracts now are small BS things and the signing bonus
