That's a big bucket of bullshit. Until the salary cap is increased, players will take minimums, whether you like it or not. The solution is there. Also, there is no way people can be offered more than a minimum contract, when a team only has $85m to play with, and around 18-20 players on the majors roster, along with OL bots. $27.5m is the cost of a full T4 bot OL, leaving the team with $57.5m to give on contracts. Make those bots T5, and the cost goes to $35m, leaving the team with $50m. You think the GM will give a rookie more money because they need it? Write media, do podcasts, make graphics, find a damn league job. Next time, before you complain about anything contract related, open the budget sheet, pull a calculator, a pen & some paper, or a google spreadsheet or the Excel, and crunch some numbers up. And it is so ironic, especially coming from a former GM.

well...unfortunately the people who benefit from this situation also get to vote on the rules for things like agents who could help rookies out and counteract some of this
