Here's a few more details with some case studdies. The top of the rookie scale is as in my previous post, QBs-400, RBs-500, WRs-350, TE & K-150, and they decline by 10 each round until they hit the 100 minimum (TEs decline by 5 until they reach 100).

Bonuses are as follows, QBs=#1 gets 500, 2-5 gets 350, 6-10 gets 200, 11-20 gets 100, all others get 10%. RBs=#1 gets 600, 2-5 gets 450, 6-10 gets 300, 11-20 gets 200, all others get 10%. I'll save you the details of the other positions, but you get the idea.

Case studies:

Clinton Portis; By my new scale, his rookie salary would be 440 for being taking 1.7. He was the #6 RB his rookie year, so he'd get a 300 bonus, raising his 2003 salary to 740. He was #6 again this year, so in 2004 his salary would be 1040. This compared to what he is set to make at 1234. However, if he imoves up to the top five in 2004, his salary jumps to 1490 versus only a raise of 10%.

William Green: His rookie salary at 1.1 would have been 500.He was the #28 RB in 2002, so he would have gotten a 10% raise to 550. He was the #42 RB in2003, so another 10% raise. This compared to his current 2004 salary he would have made at 1452.

David Carr: at 1.5, he would have a salary of 360 his first year. He was the #24 QB, so a 10% raise for 2003. He was the #25 QB this year, so another 10% raise, so his 2004 salary would be 436 vs the current 968.

Donte Stallworth: Rookie salary would have ben 280, with two bad years, his 2004 salary would be 339, vs his current 799.

Jeremy Shockey: Rookie Salary would have been 125. As the #3 TE in 2002, he would have gotten a raise of 250. As the #9 TE in 2003, he'd get a 100 raise this year for a 2004 salary of 475, vs the current 363.

Anquan Boldin: as the 2.1 pick under this system, he'd have a rookie salary of 230. As the #4 WR this year, he'd get a raise of 300 for a 2004 salary of 530. If he repeated that performance, he'd get a 2005 salary of 730, vs the current 677.

So, what we see is that if you draft the premier player at the position, you will end up paying more in the long run for the rookie, but still have him cheaper the first couple of years. If you draft good but not the best, it will even out, and if you draft a mediocre player, the new scale would be cheaper.
