All rookie contracts are unbelieable considering none of thme have proven anything. I personally think they should set a base salary depending on which round you were picked. Make it a one year contract. That way, they have to keep their nose clean and bust their ***** in order to get their big payday.

A lot of $ for a guy who scouts were 50/50 on whether he was going to amount to anything as a pro.

Any rookie draft pick is a flip of the coin, that includes first round picks.
