Still, they look like idiots when you spend $28 Million on a WR, then sign another WR. It's his knee that brought up these concerns, correct?

I think this contract will help get that done. Florio at profootballtalk.com had this comment"

No matter what the details say, it just became a little harder to sign Tom Brady, Peyton Manning, and Drew Brees.

And it became a little easier to dial back rookie deals in 2011 once and for all.

If first round picks aren't worth what you are paying them, here's a crazy idea: Stop paying them so much.

Salary caps = "Save us from ourselves." If these contracts are really so bad, just don't sign your first round pick and on average you're better off than the people who did.
