I'm just gonna leave this right here...

Not really all that surprising. QB's naturally make more than WR's no matter where they are drafted in the first round.

They will probably just structure it with incentives a la Cleveland with Brady Quinn. Not a big deal here.. hell, the story (and it pains me to say this) is only a story because it's Tim Tebow.

That's because the faggot went on and on about how he's so grateful to be drafted and is just so excited to come in and work hard and do whatever he has to do to help the team. He fed everyone a bunch of bullshit about how he doesn't care about anything besides helping the team and being the best teammate possible. He said he wouldn't disappoint the Broncos but McDaniels is already disappointed in him. Crucify him!!!!

I guess the other 30 first round picks that haven't signed yet are also selfish shitheads that don't want to help the team.

The rookie signing system is broken. Can't blame Tebow for that, just like you can't blame Sam Bradford for being on the brink of getting $50M guaranteed.

Simple solution for all of this .. the NFL adopts the same rookie scale idea that the NBA has in place and NO ONE will hold out because they are slotted into a salary no matter what.

Like I said before, the other 30 draft picks don't go on TV and talk about how god has helped them so much and how grateful they are and how they plan on getting right into camp and working right away to be the best teammate and player possible.

That's my problem with Tebow. If he wasn't such a bible thumping goody two shoe ass kissing faggot I wouldn't have a problem with this.

A rookie scale salary structure is way overdue for the NFL.

[KillaK]

If there was a rookie salary for the players would they have to do it differently from position to position or would it just be where ever you got drafted you get a set amount?

It's coming... you're going to lose a season of NFL football because of it, but it's comng.

Quarterbacks always get premium dollars. Everyone knows that.
And, as others have already written, Tebow jersey sales are through the roof.

this is exactly why i hate tebow too, but this particular situation is a bit bigger than him. i mean. the quarterback premium is as much a part of the system as the number one overall getting ridiculous amounts of money. his agent also cant take less than bryant or other agents will trash him when they are trying to recruit college players. theres any number of ways that this is a bullshit situation, but none of them reflect on tebow himself. if the broncos are playing hardball, theres not much that they can do. besides. the target is sunday. if this turns into a prolonged holdout, then yes the criticism becomes valid, but a tiny bit of posturing with dez just signing a few days ago is not a big deal.

Good question...

Fair enough.

Insert "transexual" or "male" before ho and I agree.

[FedEx227]

Dude is totally a closet homosexual.

...He's not dating Lucy Pinder.

Will that rumor EVER die?!
