While I typically don't support policies that restrict the amount of money people can make, the NFL seriously needs to a plan that limits the amount of money rookies receive. It's ludicrous that Jake Long is now the highest paid offensive lineman in the NFL and he hasn't even played a down in the league. The current system rewards college success and NFL potential, not actual NFL production.
I don't have a problem with guys like Jake Long or Jamarcus Russell making $50 to $60 million over five years after they have played to a level that warrants this kind of money.
