...And NO MORE supplemental revenue sharing. For example, the Vikes can buy a team through FA if they want, but I don't think that Packer fans should have to help fucking PAY for it, PERIOD)

No thanks are necessary....but you're welcome.

The average of the 5 lowest salaries at the position they play. No signing bonus until the 2nd year. Make them earn their keep.

I think its great that owners complain about rookies' salaries, when THEY are the ones writing the checks. "God dammitt rookies make too much money! Rabble rabble rabble! Oh, JaMarcus Russell, here's $32 million guaranteed. Matt Stafford, here's $40 million. Rabble rabble rabble!."

That would be like me going to the strip club, tipping the dancers $20 a song, and then bitching because I didn't have any money afterward.

Hilarious.

The thought of writing a check to Jamarcus Russell for 30 million bucks is frightening after seeing how he plays. Course, he is on the Raiders so who knows how good he really is.

Pay any player drated after the "Third" round a commission. Just like a Realtor, Mortgage Broker, or Car Salesman.

$500 for each practice. $2,000 for a game in which they play in 1- 5 snaps, $5,000 if they play 6-10 snaps, $10,000 per game if they play between 11 and 20 snaps, and $20,000 per game if they play over 21 snaps in a geme.

Tell them all, that is the way it is.... Do you want a job?

98.5 % of them will take it. The others will go to the CFL.

That is a fact.

Make them earn it.

Trust me... A lot of these kids would step it up... every opportunity they have.

It's not exactly a free and unregulated market economy. The price you pay for a draft pick is almost completely dominated by the position of the player and the pick #, and very little to do with the value you receive for what you pay, unfortunately. But that's all I'll say; I'm not foolish enough to argue with an economics professor 😉

My beginning guess.

All rookies have a 3 year contract.

The first pick in the draft gets a three million dollar signing bonus.

The last pick in the draft gets a signing bonus equivalent to one year league minimum salary.

The rest of the signing bonuses are scaled accordingly by pick.

The 1st pick in the draft makes 3 million per year.

The last pick in the draft makes league minimum.

All picks in between are scaled accordingly.

RFA after 3. All of them.

Any hold out beyond one week after the draft will cost the equivalent of one week per week in bonus and salary. Team holds rights to any drafted player for full 3 years in the event of an attempted holdout. (The Crabdouche rule :thumbleft: )

jdlax (11h) : I can't believe one of my teams went out and wablammo just up and acquired one of the best players in the world overnight

dfosterf (16h) : I do very much appreciate when Beast and others pick up my slack 😊

dfosterf (16h) : I accept Beast's admonishment regarding my failure to link stuff I reference. I simply never learned to link from my cell phone.

beast (16h) : That's not what your she said 😌, she said keep going 😏

Mucky Tundra (20h) : Anything over 4 hours means he needs to get to the hospital

Mucky Tundra (20h) : Someone might want to check on Hafley and make sure his erection has gone down

Zero2Cool (21h) : LaFleur texts "bleep me I cannot sit down"

Zero2Cool (22h) : YouTube has had me last hour or two lol

Mucky Tundra (22h) : Ugh this trade happened right as my shift started and it's killing me

Zero2Cool (22h) : Parsons wore 23 in high school.

Zero2Cool (22h) : Packers just cost Lions more money with Hutchinson too huh

Zero2Cool (28-Aug) : That is fair by me.

buckeyepackfan (28-Aug) : Kenny Clark is the player, 2 1st rnd picks

Zero2Cool (28-Aug) : umm... what?

wpr (28-Aug) : I am stunned

Mucky Tundra (28-Aug) : RICKEY SCOOPS WAS RIGHT AGAIN!!!

dfosterf (27-Aug) : Micah Robinson cut. Probable PS player tomorrow. Has to call mom back and t

Zero2Cool (27-Aug) : New site so much better. Might make switch and deal with it.

dfosterf (27-Aug) : Mecole Hardman to our practice squad

dfosterf (27-Aug) : Nick Nieman from Texans our 5th linebacker. Special teams signing

TheKanataThrilla (27-Aug) : Looks like we signed Clayton Tune as QB3

wpr (27-Aug) : TKT people lose their minds over QB3. Point is almost none of them are ready that's why they are on the PS and other teams don't take them.

TheKanataThrilla (27-Aug) : Unfortunately he doesn't seem ready to be an emergency QB.

TheKanataThrilla (27-Aug) : As a Canadian and a follower of Canadian University football. I am rooting for him

dfosterf (27-Aug) : I bet a lot of us will follow the Taylor Elgersma journey with interest. Personally, got a Kurt Warner vibe goin' on. I like him

TheKanataThrilla (27-Aug) : Not sure if either will be claimed though.

TheKanataThrilla (27-Aug) : Tune or Hooker would make sense

dfosterf (27-Aug) : Clayton Tune cut by the Cards? Don't know if that's the guy, we shall see

TheKanataThrilla (27-Aug) : Per Bill Huber, the Packers will not be bringing back Taylor Elgersma or Sean Clifford on the practice squad, so a new third quarterback

Mucky Tundra (27-Aug) : Schefter must have deleted his tweet

dfosterf (27-Aug) : Hopefully Jerry reaches under the seat cushions and ashtrays of his jet and scrapes up the 45 million apr and spares us further nonsense

dfosterf (27-Aug) : Have to admit the PO'd Cowboy fan videos would be fun to watch. Problem with draft picks is half their fanbase barely knows what that is

beast (27-Aug) : I think Cowboys fans are ready to get their pitch forks and burning sticks if Jerry were to trade Micah

dfosterf (27-Aug) : If Jerry traded Micah to GB, here in northern Va. they would have to quick build yet another data center to handle the internet hate traffic

Zero2Cool (27-Aug) : its signing and trades that you don't hear about, other then announced

Zero2Cool (27-Aug) : If you hear rumors about Packers sign or trade, won't happen. Not how they work
