And here's the great point. Guys like that aren't making the *teams* pay any more money. The 49ers have the same cap as before. What they're really doing is taking money from other players on the team. Namely the veterans that have been around a t least a year and proven themselves as roster-worthy.

I don't think football contracts are guaranteed. So if that Alex Smith kid sux the he won't see all that money... right? i like the nba rookie cap. I think they sign three year contracts and you rarely see a rookie hold out cause they can't get the big bucks till after the three years. the only downside is you see them jump ship after its up and they are good. I am sure Cleveland is sweating this right now. also… I don’t think football contracts are guaranteed. So if that Alex Smith kid sux the he won’t see all that money… right? i like the nba rookie cap.
