Indeed. I think another big problem rookie contracts cause is the fact that it jacks up the price for re-signing veteran players and makes getting free agents insanely difficult too.

Yep, I would be pretty ticked off if I were a proven Vet and along comes some kid who hasn't proven anything and he gets a contract bigger then mine just because he was a high draft pick.
