    Milner can coast and get to his show me the money year. The new deal for rookies treats them all like Volvo's. The league play continues to look a lot more like a league full of Volvo's than a league full of Bentley's.

    Tannenbaum got fired for over paying Sanchez. Idzik won't get fired for paying a rookie to perform like a rookie over a top veteran. That's why he was able to unload Revis and substitute low paid underperforming Volvo over the high performance Bentley. Teams continue to unload Bentley's for Volvo's because Volvo's are cheaper and they decided instead of raising the cap to have a league full of Bentley's they would lower the salary of players in their first few years and have a league of Volvo's.

    Retarded is a salary cap and a rookie salary cap coupled with a draft that keeps wages artificially low in a free society. Production doesn't increase when incentives are taken off the table. It does just the opposite. Players need to stay healthy to get to their second and third contracts. Killing themselves is decidedly against their interest.

    Everybody wants to predict the future, everyone wants to say "I told you so." Let's just see.
