Miguel said:One more thing - the Pats like to sign their draft picks to 5 year deals. Without an extension to the CBA, signing bonuses can only be prorated over 4 years. Why would a Day 2 pick sign a 5-year deal in 2006??[/QUOTE
Would it matter to the player?
I may not understand this, but isnt the proration in the teams interest?
If you sign a 5 yr deal with a 4 yr proration, assuming the $$ were exactly the same, what would be different for the player?
I think the team wouldnt want to because the cost would be higher (i.e. signing bonus is greater on a 5 yr deal than a 4).
Im not disagreeing, just not understanding, what is the disincentive to the player in your opinion?
