contracts....the league needs to find a way to make them stick. to me, a contract sounds like a legal binding agreement.
5 years should mean 5 years. i understand stipulations, but look at Jerry- he shoulda ritired a 49r. perhaps a change in the cap. something like, only county half a players salary against the cap if the player has been on the same team for 7 years. something like that. also, maybe a cap on rookies. no more than, say 2.5 million a year for at least the first year. i mean, where is crying leaf now?
