I'm not sure if I would support Brian's proposal to resturcture rookie contracts. I do agree the contracts are a bit too high and need to be resturctued but I am not sure if a performance based contract is the solution.

Like someone mentioned before it would take the risk out of drafting, giving everyone a trap door to escape from a busted pick. In the NFL many 1st round picks are busts and franchises have to either stick with them or cut them loose and eat their contract.

My suggestion is if a performance base contract structure is in place for rookies that maybe if a team were to relase the player, they take the full contract hit or 75%. Just so that there is some danger to draft picks.
