They pay the same amount of money either way... Especially with slotted money.


La'el lost out on over 10 million in signing bonus and guaranteed money. They certainly don't get paid the same.

He's talking about the owners. The owners didn't save any money by not drafting La'El, they just paid that money to someone else that got drafted in the position that he would have been drafted.

My post went right over your head. I'm talking about the owners. Of course Collins lost money, but it doesn't save the owners anything with a rookie draft pool, slotted salaries, and a salary cap based off TV revenue

That's if he would have been selected in the first round.... Had he slipped into the second then no he would have not....

Now he will sign his 2nd deal in year two and he will get a possible big 3rd year deal so if he performs he may realistically make more than many other non-QB players in the draft.
