The Impetus for College Players to Leave Early

The NFL implemented the rookie wage scale in 2011 to avoid the situations where you have a high round bust in round one that gets a bunch of guaranteed money. That's what created an impetus for college players to leave early because it's not about coming to get the first contract is not about sticking around for one more Year because maybe I'll be a first-rounder. Hey, let's get to the NFL now Because I want to start the clock on my second contract. No team is gonna pay him under this contract for anything that happened in 2021 or 2022 including the Ravens. If he ever says yes to a long-term deal this year It's gonna be to another team.
