This is insane...78 to 80 mil deal with 50 mil guaranteed? Man I hope the league sets a rookie wage scale.

Yeah, I don't get it...giving these guys who haven't played a down in the NFL this kind of money is just the height of stupidity. The system the NBA has in place works pretty well and hopefully the NFL makes a systemic effort to impose some kind of rookie wage scale that makes more sense.

After the whole JaMarcus fiasco, teams should be scare shitless about giving an unproven rookie 50-60 mil guaranteed.

yeah no s, espescially a qb with a shitty shoulder, but with the new cba coming you had to figure his guaranteed money would be higher than stafford who had 41 somthing, but 50 is just a joke. it will be interesting to see what the rokie pay scale will be, i imagine the guaranteed money will max out some whee around 20 mil which is still crazy high considering they have never played a down of football in the nfl
