The rookie scale is definitely a positive aspect of the new CBA. I know how my jaw dropped last year when I heard the contract Sam Bradford got. Hopefully the 1st round dollar amounts won't be so insane now.

They're not at all. #6 overall Julio Jones just got $4M/year, fully guaranteed.

This is fantastic.
