fail?

 

[Risen Star]

Elliott, Brown, Frazier and Jackson have signed.

Why haven't the others signed yet? Holdouts?

 

[Corso]

It's so much faster getting draftees signed now that their positions are much less negotiable.
Remember when the Cowboys would always wait til the last second to sign their guys, waiting for the market to be set?

Great to see its done. Pretty quick might I add w Elliott. First rounders take a bit sometimes.

 

[DBOY3141]

Notice 1st rounders get the penthouse....all others the training room to sigh their contract

They have to graduate first

CBA makes this mess interesting. Their salaries are slotted.

Elliott's head always look like it doesn't belong to his body

Elliott rode a jet to Dallas and got a board room for his contract signing.

The others got a coach ticket and a broom closet.

 

[Doomsday101]

That was as fast as I have seen. Normally #1 in Dallas does not get signed until the weekend of training camp.

One of the best things ever negotiated between the owners and players was the rookie compensation system ratified in the last CBA.

Beat me to it.

Agreed.

And the next "best thing" they do will be to realize that the game needs a true minor league system and finally do it right.
