Ya I saw that, I just meant I wonder what "lower" and "rookie spending cap" actually means. Like are we talking no rookie can make more than $2M/yr, or does it just mean #1 over-all's signing a 6yr, $60M contract instead of the usual 6yr, $78M.
Since career's are shorter (and players 21-22 instead of 17) in NFL as opposed to NHL, I think rookies should be able to sign for more than what NHL rookies make in the top 5. But I just think a rookie signing anything more than $2-3M/yr is absolutely outrageous. I just really hope they've fixed this, and not just scaled it back a tad to only slightly less outrageous.
