This wasn't talked about that I saw and it's really going to affect deals going forward.
NFL.com news: Owners, players make progress, aim to seal deal next week
I think that the result is going to be that we see a lot of contract extensions signed before the end of the 3rd year of contracts.

NFL.COM said:According to sources, it was agreed that the fifth-year option for rookie contracts would pay top-10 picks the average salary of the top 10 players at their position. For picks 11 through 32, the amount would be the average of salaries Nos. 3 to 25 at a given position. All figures will be taken from the third year of rookie contracts, meaning that for top-10 picks, their fifth-year option amount would be equal to the transition tag number from the previous year
