The NFL should come up with a new rule, that if a team drafts you, they own you for 5 years until a contract is made to avoid this.
They should also come up with a system of pay for draft picks.

there is a system if you want to call it that; cap space has to be allocated to rookies.

I really hate rookies who hold out. Someone should come and let them know that they have yet to prove themselves on the professional level. This is really ridiculous.
