Should there be a limit on the size of rookie contracts in the NFL?

I personally don't feel the NFL or other sports bodies should put a restraint/contract Cap on rookies. I think it is easy for anybody to say "yes, put a salary cap in place! ", after all it is not us getting the money.

The thing is the money in the NFL is huge and therefore the clubs can afford to pay this amount of money. The better the players at a club the more money they will attract. Looking at Sam Bradford he looks a marketable sort of guy and I would think one way or another the Rams will get there money back.

If they don't well that's just business. Is he worth it? Well is anybody really worth $78M over 5 years?

Thing is the ability to have the arm of a QB at NFL level is fairly rare and teams will pay a lot of money for this skill. So in this context he is worth the money. Good luck Sam, I hope this is the best $78M the Rams ever spend.

I think there definitely should be a rookie salary cap in the NFL. In other sports like baseball and hockey, rookies generally start out in the minor leagues with lower contracts, then move up to the major leagues, where they can negotiate larger contracts after proving their abilities. Not so in the NFL.

While the majority of rookies aren't signing contracts like Sam Bradford's, there are others with multi-million dollar contracts in place before they ever play a snap. I think that players in all sports should start out as an entry level player in both title and salary and then move up as they prove themselves.

That is a good one. I say yes. An entry level position should be just that .

Can you hear some of these 'Grads" telling the owners that will forsake playing football to pursue a different high paying career that will pay more than they are offering . Ha Ha.

No every player should have the ability to get paid by the highest bidder. Salaries this high get paid by TV contracts and if it doesn't go to the player it stays in the owners pocket. But I do think a larger part should be performanced based.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
