What happened to holdouts? Contract disagreements? Especially with the Raiders, who didn’t sign JaMarcus Russell until it was too late for him to have an impact last year. Are teams really negotiating earlier with their draft picks?
In an ideal world these clowns would come to the realization that they are already making way too much money out of the gate as rookies and they should be grateful to be set up for life. But almost assuredly these are exceptions and in reality the rule of a holdout or two a year will again hold true.
