This is one of the reasons that the whole rookie pay scale needs to be redone. No one should enter the league as a rookie, regardless of the number of their selection, and be making more than a veteran player. No one.

LG Logan Mankins Screw him, franchise and collect a pick
Let me guess. His comments 5 months ago hurt your feelings?
If you don't want the Manster back......I'm at a loss.
Yeah, I was just throwing out numbers. It's still amazing that only in professional sports do folks get those kinds of contracts without having to work themselves up through the ranks, or show that they can perform at that level on a consistent basis.
Have you ever seen an MBA feeding frenzy at any of the major consulting firms and/or Wall Street banks? Or during the tech booms, the January raids on the MIT, Stanford, and Carnegie Mellon computer science departments?
We have 9 picks in the 2011 draft, plus compensatory picks for Ben Watson (could be as high as a 5th) and Jarvis Green. I'd like to see them be more active in Free Agency now that the cap situation won't be so hazy.
Mankins -- Yes, he's worth big bucks.
Light -- A solidly average established LT. Pay him as same. On a short deal, he deserves high annual pay.
Woodhead -- Kevin Faulk of the future. Probably better than Faulk at the same stage of their respective careers.
Faulk -- His value goes down w/ Woodhead, but he's worth the roster slot. He also should accept less money if he's going to take less punishment. The only reason you shouldn't want to take 7-figure pay to play a game you love is if you're thinking about your post-retirement health. (Faulk is not at the stage of wealth where money is totally irrelevant.)
BJGE -- This is a RB by committee league. Middle-class low 7 figures money is OK for him. He's proven to be a solidly competent unspecial RB, more productive than some.
G. Warren -- Nice, versatile role player. Sign him for JAG money.
White -- Izzo always came cheap, so he should too. Good.
Arrington -- If somebody offers him Randy Gay money (that name still amazes me), let him walk. At JAG money, keep him.
Taylor -- Has turned fragile again. Don't spend the roster slot on him. Rather, for 5 RBs, go Woodhead, Faulk, Ellis, & 2 new guys, one of them a bruiser. Probably have Ellis as the FB for the true-FB plays, since BB thinks you need experience to play that role.
Backup safeties -- Possibly none, and just go w/ Brown, who's already locked up? The need for safety depth depends a bit on CB depth.
Backup OL -- No opinion.
Richard -- Why?
Morris -- Upgrade his position.
