Kareem Jackson got a hell of a deal by the looks of it. More guaranteed money than the 5 players that were taken ahead of him. I always wonder how stuff like that happens.

 

This is one of my biggest gripes with NFL rookie contracts. Whoever drafts in slot #20 next year will have a tough time getting their player signed because Houston way overpaid (in guarenteed money) for #20 this year.

 

And Bradford getting nearly 20% more in guaranteed money than Stafford did just last year. At this rate guaranteed money is going to be jumping up $10 million per year for the #1 pick and the increases are exponential. By 2014 you're looking at $100 million guaranteed for the #1 pick, if things continue as is. Time for a change.

 

Carson Palmer received $16.4 million guaranteed after being selected first overall in 2003. JaMarcus Russell received $29 million guaranteed 4 years later (in the 2007 draft). A jump of 76.7% in just 4 years. Fast forward another 3 years to Sam Bradford's $50 million in guaranteed money. A jump of 72.4% in now just 3 years. In just 7 years the guaranteed money paid out to the #1 pick has more than tripled. Things have gotten totally out of hand, and the NFL no longer has a sustainable model for paying high 1st round picks. It's clearly becoming more of a nuisance than help to possess these top 5 picks. Can you imagine if it triples again in the next 7 years......$150 million guaranteed.......what the hell?

There's no way it can. The teams would go broke IMO. I know they bring in revenue, some clearly more than others, but say they paid that kind of money for a guy that turned out to be their own version of Mike Williams. This will be fixed by the next bargaining agreement.
