A couple of days ago I was talking to one of my boys and he is talking about Rodger Godell and his want for a salary cap for rookies in the NFL. This eventually lead to a unheated, non-argumentative 'debate' in which my boy felt that it is needed because in his words, "these young players are getting too much as unproven cats!"

Well before going any further, let me paint the picture for you. cbssports reported on Friday that NFL commissioner Roger Goodell said it's "ridiculous" to reward untested rookies with lucrative contracts. The article goes on to state that his feelings come from the fact that these young players walk in the door with $30 million dollars without playing a down and that the money should be going to the proven player that has already proven that he can perform!

My initial thoughts:

I think if this is an attempt to pay more or even grant guaranteed contracts for the players - especially the veterans - I am all for it and behind it. However, if this is just an attempt to put more money back into the hands of the owners and limit the amount of money that they players receive - then I think Godell is crazy!

I wonder what REAL sports/football fans think about this one???
