I will, based on feedback from 2012, change up how some of the round term lengths are assigned.
Allowing owners to assign longer terms to some rookies and give them more time to develop.

More time, more money, no whammy's. Seriously though good to know. I think most of us with OCD will be willing to pay more for longer term's for those "diamonds in the rough" of any round past the 3rd.

I am thinking of proposing a second rookie pay scale to choose from. Leaving in place the current one which allows short and cheap contracts in rounds 2, 3, and 4.
The second pay scale would add longer term but more expensive contracts.
Round 5 like round 6 will now be an "assign term" round and dollar amounts raise 3 and 2 dollars depending on the pick. If you can find a gem in round 5 you deserve to have them for long and cheap.
Rounds 1, 5, and 6 will be the same for each pay scale.
In the new pay scale 2, round 2 salaries go up between $4 and $9 but the term goes from 3 to 4 years. Allowing you to extend them to a longer term deal in the final year of their deal. Voiding TS eligibility but you get to keep them.
Round 3 salaries go up between $13 and $15 but term goes from 2 to 3 years. This is gives you an extra year to wait for a player to develop. But more importantly you will be able to use anyone of the franchise tags on them. All the franchise tags allow for the chance to match a bid and have them long term.
Round 4 salaries increase between $8 and $5 and like round 3 the term increases from 2 to 3 years. Which is a key number to use franchise tags.
Summing up: For rounds 2, 3, and 4 owners may choose if they want a short but cheap deal or do they want to lock up a player longer but have to pay a modest increase for that privilege.
Just like a real player might say, "You're only paying me a small amount BUT I get a chance to be a free agent sooner and get a raise."
OR
"They're paying me more but I'm tied to them longer and they will have options to keep me here even longer."
A pseudo contract negotiation of sorts. Although the owner decides which they agree to.
We add a very valuable "assign term" choice for round 5 in both scales.
We eliminate the "forced upon you", dreaded 2 year rookie contract which means owners will avoid RFA's if they choose.
Important to take away here if you choose scale #1, nothing changes in the draft, except round 5 and it's at most $3 a pick BUT you get to assign a term between 1 and 6 years.

You would be allowed to select between scale #1 and #2 for each pick you have in the draft. You aren't locked into one scale once you use it. Even multiple picks in the same round can be different scales depending on your confidence in their potential.

Maybe another option is a rookie term pool. Meaning you have "X" amount of years to dish out as you see fit.
What if you added a bunch of picks? It would throw off your numbers.

Ii like the role term pool idea. Maybe if we used that for any pick after the 3rd round. I have not rear every book an cranny tthroughout this thread but the main problem Pugs myself and a few others have is that after round 3 unless you luck out., your ppicks at this point on need years to develope.
So long as we all realize late ripping guys are a gamble, but if we want to hang on to them for eons we can do that.
I think it came up last year maybe if we have an lotion to extend a rookies c contract if they r still on the TS when their term expires. I think that is a good simple solution.

That post is is bit hard to follow but
Leave the rookie scale as is but when a rookie's contract expires and he is a RFA others will bid on him and if you match a bid he can stay right there on your TS for the new contract.
If he is not bid on then you can simply qualify him under current rules, give him a 10% raise and also he can stay on TS.
I'm assuming then if a player becomes an UFA and is on the taxi squad once he is franchised or blind bid on he'd HAVE to be moved to an ACTIVE ROSTER.
I guess that was discussed last year. That would actually be my first choice of a rule change.
The key thing for me is these players get to RFA status so they can be bid on to make a realistic wage.
I think under this round 5 could still become an "assign term" round.

You mean other than signing into the website and changing his team name?

I think we should just implement the same system the NFL uses. All drafted rookies get a 4 year deal with 1st round picks having an option for a 5th year. Undrafted rookies can be an assigned term. I think the new rookie pay scale should be the one we just make law and don't have an option.

Thanks Nerf!
I am good with what was outlined by Steve. It adds a different strategy for different rounds. I'd also be open to flexible length contracts for those beyond rd 1.
