It seems to me that we keep getting back Shaun Alexander. Now I am not sure how many players from our initial allocation draft are still under their first contract but I would be tempted to suggest that these players are exempt from this rule.
That would eliminate what seems to be the major issue here. For other players that have been acquired as FA's or drafted I think the proposed pricing structure would work well. Remember part of the proposal is that 20% escalator applies to each year the player is signed for (this would also increase the cap hit if someone tried to dump a franchise player.
If the concern is that the RB salaries are too low (I think we can probably set appropriate values). Not sure how easy it would be do Top 3 (I will defer to Mike on that one) but I think we can work something out.
