NFL rookie pay-scale 'ridiculous'

NFL rookie pay-scale 'ridiculous'
6/27/08
Quote:
CHAUTAUQUA, N.Y. - NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell said its "ridiculous" to reward untested rookies with lucrative contracts and wants the issue addressed in contract talks.

"There's something wrong about the system," Goodell said Friday. "The money should go to people who perform."
Goodell referred to Michigan tackle Jake Long's five-year, $57.75 million contract — with $30 million guaranteed. Long was the first overall draft pick by the Miami Dolphins in April.

Whats Goodells motivation for bringing up an issue brought about by the people who employ him? The owners.

Could it be the owners want a drastic change in the colletive bargaining agreement?

This was nothing more than a PR move by the league to garner public support ,knowing that an ugly and prolonged fight over salaries is in the future.
